I'm passionate about
Cleaning up the horrible polution created by the almost unregulated Global Salmon Farming industry. Companies make billions and have little or no concern for the environment.
An idea worth spreading
Putting in place psychology based programs to catch rubbish before it gets to the Ocean.
Areas of expertise
Cross Cultural Negotiations, Mentoring Environmental Technology Companies
The TED story
TED and the Environment - there is no better combination.
Things you might not know
Cleaning parks and beaches
