I’m happy to participate in conferences, podcasts and interviews, whether online or face to face.  I can present on a wide range of climate related topics including the solutions to climate change, how to cut your carbon footprint and how I electrified my home.

I bring my expertise of geography, energy, climate change, business and my experience of cutting my own carbon footprint. I illustrate my presentations with photographs from Scotland and overseas.  Drawing upon my experience, I can adjust to a business audience, community group or to the public.

Please look at my blogs for further inspiration of the wide range of topics that I can cover.

I charge reasonable rates.  Please contact me to discuss at carbonchoices@gmail.com
