Seminar 3 Announced

SUSTAINABLE GARDENS – SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS – SUSTAINABLE CITIES

The Australian Institute of Landscape Designers and Managers (AILDM) presents the third in its popular Global Warming – The Landscape Challenge seminar series.

AILDM has brought together three sustainability gurus from three separate spheres to present their individual experiences and their sustainable philosophy. The speakers will be providing thought provoking insights into sustainable solutions for global warming from the residential perspective, the business perspective and the urban / city perspective.

Josh Byrne the popular ABC TV Gardening Australia personality is an environmental scientist with a passion for green gardening. He believes that many of the pressing environmental challenges that confront our cities and towns can be tackled by gardeners if given the opportunity. Water shortages, nutrient pollution, organic waste management, urban biodiversity and clean food production are all issues that fall well and truly into the realm of gardeners.

Dr Jane Tarran, Senior Lecturer and Course Director, Department of Environmental Sciences, University of Technology Sydney will talk about the importance of developing and managing the urban forest to provide cleaner, healthier and safer urban environments and an effective mechanism in the fight against climate change.

Frouke de Reuver from the Dept of Environment and Climate Change (DECC) will explain how we can advantage our business, ourselves and our community and ultimately the planet by running a sustainable business.
