Short Bio for events
“Ian McBurney describes himself as an ecological sustainability mentor for government, business, communities and homes. He has a degree in environmental engineering and has spent seven years at the cutting edge of environmental education. Most of his work is in guiding businesses towards ecological sustainability, from management goal setting to organisational systems, symbols and understandings. He is a lively, passionate and thought provoking master of ceremonies and public speaker and can design and/or deliver your environmental education program. His message is of the urgency of our ecological challenges, yet also of hope, imagination and opportunities: the winds of change are blowing from many fronts – make sure your organisation reaps the rewards, or at the very least, avoids the coming costs.”
