I'm in Scotland at the moment. I came up to deliver a 'Know your Waste' course last week at the University of Edinburgh and I'm staying to deliver a CIWM Construction WAC course next week, which has left me with a free weekend here. What to do on a dull Saturday in North Lanarkshire? I'm just completing an Introduction to Renewable Energy course on behalf of EAUC and I wanted a few images to use so, after a visit to the local farmers market, we went looking for wind turbines. In much of England they are quite difficult to find but here there are a few elegant herds of them on the horizon. This lovely threesome appeared a little while ago alongside the M74. How convenient. We stood gazing in the chill breeze as they swept their blades almost silently through the air. So that's my first set of images. I'm thinking Scotland isn't the place to be looking for effective photovoltaic energy capture.
I am a senior environmental consultant with ECUS. I have experience in construction, manufacturing and the water industry. My original degree was in metallurgy which I followed up many years later with a masters in water & environmental management. My hobbies are reading trashy science fiction, depressing myself with environmental blogs, supporting my children through their hugely expensive college/university education and growing food in my tiny windswept back garden. I like to eat out, drink nice wine and pontificate about how to save the world. If only I had all the answers...
