<\/a>A little bit about myself\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nI am a third year Building Surveying (Commercial Management) student at the University of Greenwich. Originally from Stoke on Trent, I have a firm understanding of sustainability and green issues from my school education, which carried a heavy environment emphasis, as well as studying sustainability modules at university.<\/p>\n
My passion for the environment has change forms over the past few years, from an academic side, through to my work as a photographer. Working as a photographer I found a new appreciation for the environment and a greater understanding of why it\u2019s important for us to look after it. Many people across the university will recognise me for my photography work at events, but not many know that the real creative, hobby side of this interest is based on nature photography.<\/p>\n
My hope is that in the future as a built environment professional I can merge my passions for construction and sustainability to help drive a positive impact on the industry, towards a sustainable future.<\/p>\n
My role at the hub<\/span><\/p>\nWorking with my colleague Maria I will be creating and delivering workshops on a wide variety of sustainability topics to students and communities across all ages.<\/p>\n
This is an ambitious project that forms part of the Hub\u2019s bid for funding from the NUS. We hope that, over two years will we connect with and deliver workshops in 11 schools or colleges. We are just beginning our work now to contact and get involved with these schools.<\/p>\n
We hope to engage with many different people from all backgrounds to help to educate them on sustainability and why it is important for us to enact a behaviour change in our lives.<\/p>\n
To the future<\/span><\/p>\nI will be trying to blog as much of our journey as possible, as well as my own journey to improve my own sustainability. There will hopefully be, chilli growing, workshop ideas and examples and updates of our success in delivering education and training on sustainability.<\/p>\n
Feel free to follow the journey and drop us a line with any comments, questions or ideas.<\/p>\n
Thanks for reading.<\/p>\n
