Keith Farnish is an environmental writer and activist who, in a former life, was a business continuity and IT security manager. He lives in Essex, UK with his wife and two children.

He has been involved in environmental issues for many years, initially specialising in energy supply, transport and climate change, and now as a campaigner against the system we call Industrial Civilization. He is continually striving to minimise his impact on the natural world.

Keith founded The Earth Blog (http://www.theearthblog.org) , intended as a source of inspiration for people who want to be challenged, and offering uncompromising solutions to difficult problems. He also writes regularly for The Unsuitablog (http://www.unsuitablog.com)- an anti-greenwashing website - and The Sietch (http://www.blog.thesietch.org) of which he is proud to be a member. In 2006, Keith co-founded Green Seniors (http://www.greenseniors.org) alongside Joyce Emery of Iowa, USA.

His book, called "Time's Up! An Uncivilized Solutions To A Global Crisis" was out in Spring 2009; and is also available to read (for free!) online at http://www.amatterofscale.com
