'''Tunnel vision in the Sustainable Building Sector. '''

'''Time for a new way forward!'''

It now takes humanity less than nine months each year to exhaust the planet’s environmental services and this rate is shortening. This ‘Earth Overshoot Day’ is the day when human demand on the planet exceeds what it can regenerate. It means humanity has demanded all the natural services available for the year. For the rest of the year, we meet our ecological demand by depleting nature and by accumulating waste such as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and oceans, pushing the essential natural services (ecosystems) of the planet closer and closer to collapse. In other words, the way we use resources is undermining the basis of life.

My personal aim is to ‘bridge the disconnect in thinking, practice and delivery of self-sustainability and eco-efficiency’. This aim is driven by the need - to protect, improve and restore the natural environment by reducing and removing (where possible) the impact of human activities through a portfolio of work, namely:  development of a Self Sustaining Building (SSB) programme, and,  work and partnerships with environment agencies and other organisations.
