Mary Walsh

lo_Mary_Walsh.jpgMary is a lawyer and has recently established her own legal consultancy advising renewable energy and low carbon companies in all aspects of project development and project financing. She has long been interested in environmental issues and is looking forward to using the Challenge Europe experience to provide her with a new perspective and new ways of tackling the challenges we face as a result of climate change.  She would like to be remembered as someone who made a difference – be it to one person’s life or many people’s lives and hopes that Challenge Europe can be part of that difference
 
 
 
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.
