Oliver Morris

lo_Oliver_Morris.jpgOliver is currently a Community Development Worker in mid-Wales on a Lottery funded project to engage young children and their communities in healthy living. Issues he has encountered over the years working in both the 3rd and education sectors include many that are central to the environmental/sustainability debate: food miles, public transport, local produce, access to services, community dis-empowerment etc. He would like to see a little more common sense, social cohesion and responsibility for others in the world and a lot less greed. He thinks that 'reduce' and 're-use' should always come before 'recycle'!

 
 
 
This grass-roots project aimed to be the first step in helping a densely populated Athenian community to make lasting changes towards sustainability in a socially and historically important area of the capital. The project focused on changing behaviour through a series of workshops which informed people about energy efficiency and ‘greening’ initiatives in buildings.
