CURRENT MISSION

Community Owned Renewable Energy and permaculture or edible gardens everywhere

ABOUT ME

Into permaculture and sustainability, conversation, especially about where we're heading! I work in sustainability, climate change and community. I'm part of the Permablitz network, helping folk get permaculture gardens designed and built by others in the community. I'm also involved in an Environmental Education Centre, helping kids engage with the natural environment. I'm always into learning - loving the free online university courses that are coming out now!

PHILOSOPHY

We're on this planet for many things, but one is to leave in a better place!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

New to this (Feb 2013), but have offered my couch to many a weary traveller (friends or friends of friends) over the years.

Interests

Music, guitar, african drumming, mbira, permaculture, transition, social change, co-operation, community, cycling, self sufficiency

Music, Movies, and Books

World music, reggae, african drumming, folk music - anything played with skills on real instruments (this generally doesn't include a church organ!).

Books about real life, fiction or otherwise.

Movies - from the banal, to action, to real life - depends on moods!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Played African Drums and danced in front of 11 000 people, painted red, wearing only a loin cloth and part of Beltane Fire Festival in Edinburgh.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach "appropriate technology" as part of a permaculture course and am a sustainability professional. I do sustainability assessments and sustainability change/social change programs.
