Ian Cleland, from Toward Sustainable Futures is offering businesses the opportunity to take the Sustainability Challenge when they attend the Sustainability Conference in May 21st & 22nd.
Transitioning an organisational culture from short term “take, make, waste” thinking to one of long term sustainability is becoming a survival imperative for organisations operating in a world of increasingly scarce resources. Leveraging the successful Challenge methodology, the Sustainability Challenge will develop essential understanding and capability around complex issues such as emissions reduction, sustainable supply chains and social responsibility whilst auditing business culture’s attitudes towards sustainability.
The Sustainability Challenge conference is aimed at all people in small to medium enterprises who want to find way to make their business more profitable, efficient, effective and sustainable.

The Walking Man
I have been an advocate of sustainability since the 70’s with the core area of interest in energy efficient building and systems.
Starting in April 2010 I am walking from Melbourne to Brisbane. The objectives of this walk are to:
•Facilitate workshops in every city and town along the journey to gather and share information for the creation of sustainable communities. These workshops will:
•Create a network of local resources that can be shared across the whole society.
•Create dynamic links between major population centers and rural country areas.
•Create trust that develops positive constructive dialogue which is solution focused.
•Develop strategies that work with local industries to develop sustainable businesses and industries.
•To be inclusive of all people who want to be involved in the process.
I will also film the walk and make a documentary , gathering stories about people I meet along the way.
My focus is to facilitate changes that stick and help people to create their own sustainable futures that are aligned with the values of the whole community and create the best solutions to the problems that are facing all of us and move toward sustainable futures.

Our future is at stake and we all need to find a ways of overcoming the fears we have of the future and work toward a positive future filled with many possibilities.
In the lead up to the start of the walk I will be looking for people who wish to become involved either through sponsorship or become a participant in the walk.
You can be part of the journey by signing up for FREE membership by providing your name and email (in the form to the top right of the screen). Next week About People will be publishing the December issue of Newsletter. The About People Newsletter is about being positive uplifting and solution focused.
Over the next week I will be posting videos of my story and the reasons for making this journey.
I am about waking the talk .
