Bogotá — SharedResponsability. I confess that I didn’t know much about him before he walked into my office carrying a box of smelly cheese produced on his farm in England. Evenlode, he said, named after the river that runs through it, a long way away from Bogotá, Colombia. And while it is true that he came because Colombia called, really, he came out of a very personal interest in finding out what a gram of cocaine bought on a London street corner represents when translated into crisp Colombian Spanish.
We also spoke about personal choice, cocaine consumption being one, and the difficulty in asking people to reconsider cocaine not only because of the damage it does to them, but to Colombia’s environment.
