Trees, haggis and babies
I have the pleasure of making the case for business and sustainability at the Scotland Food & Drink AGM in Perth on Friday 24th February.
My short presentation is called ‘Trees, Haggis and Babies’ – something there about my time as a forester in Asia working with the FSC, working with Macsween haggis on their sustainability reports and co-founding Totseat, the washable squashable fabric highchair for babies who lunch.

Power to the People – the citizen and energy independence
Our next Moving Conversations debate takes place on 9th March in Menzies Hall, Fintry, Stirlingshire. Part of the Fintry Renewable Energy Show (www.fintrydt.org.uk), we will be taking a look at a smart networked, low carbon energy future where the citizen takes more responsibility for energy generation and use. Well, that’s one scenario at least!
The expert panel consists of ice cream and renewable energy czar Dr. Maitland Mackie, land ownership campaigner Andy Wightman, localism activist and Forestry Commission Chair Pam Warhurst and renewable energy entrepreneur Max Carcas. Each will come armed with a clip from the Scottish Screen Archive (http://ssa.nls.uk), the national audiovisual collection managed by the National Libraries of Scotland. The clips will fuel the debate on Scotland’s energy future.
Power to the People is at 2.30pm on 9th March in Menzies Hall, Main Street, Fintry, Stirlingshire.
Don’t fight the power, like the power!
