“Like happiness, sustainability is not a destination, but a manner of travelling. Too bad most of us don’t realise this until we have spent our lives travelling at breakneck speed, building bigger roads, buying better cars, and ignoring the passengers.”

Why EcoSTEPS?

I am part of EcoSTEPS because I believe sustainability is the one concept to emerge in my lifetime that offers us a way of looking to the future with hope. Regardless of how polluted our planet has become and how dysfunctional society may seem, the one thing our children will need to survive and find meaning in their lives, is hope.

Government and business need people who understand the way they operate, to help them embrace sustainability in the most appropriate way for them. EcoSTEPS has the skills, knowledge and experience to help their clients achieve this.
