Green Synergy
Built Environment + Sustainable Development Consultant for individuals, businesses, communities, community groups, government and non-government organizations.
Sustainability is a new, emerging culture, responding to the compelling need to protect and restore our natural systems and their eco-system services, while providing for economic development and social equity. With climate change and population growth as key drivers, at no time in human history has there been such a need to change the way we do things. We need a complete re-design of our cities, towns and communities, our houses and buildings, our methods of resource extraction and energy usage, our modes of production and transport, amongst many other areas. Great changes are occurring now, and I encourage you to be part of the change.
With a built environment background, my technical specialty is buildings and their environmental impacts. I am also active in broader social settings, helping to bring about change by developing the capacity of people, communities and organizations to adopt sustainable practices and develop strong sustainability cultures.
