Sustainability Forum

I attended a local sustainability forum last night and listened to a very inspiring speech by Ian McBurney of Live eco logical.

If you know anyone out there who still thinks that we are not the cause of our planets demise then you have to introduce them to him.

Amazing speech and some great hard-hitting facts that can't be ignored.

I have asked Ian to send me his powerpoint presentation and he has very kindly agreed, so I hope to bring some excerpts which I hope you will find as inspiring as I did.
