7 different perspectives on water inequality

October 16, 2014 by Kate Davis Leave a Comment

If you’ve ever thought about water inequality, it is probably in a similar context to this picture; contrasting a resident of an Indian slum carrying water while walking along a large pipe taking water to more affluent areas (thank you to Meena Kadri for the great picture). Different perspectives on water inequality However, water inequality is a complex issue; much wider than rich and poor people’s access to water. It can be seen in many ways, with different Continue Reading …

Why you should care about waste

August 31, 2014 by Kate Davis 6 Comments

You may not think it is the most exciting topic, but you should care about waste. We all produce waste, but have you thought much about it; do you know what happens to your waste? Traditionally, in the UK, waste has been sent to landfill, filling holes in the ground with our rubbish, but we’re running out of space so what do we do next? Or perhaps you’d care more about waste if you knew Continue Reading …

Here is a round up of the posts I’ve enjoyed reading recently all connected to the environment. This theme is the most relevant to my job so I’ve shared some of these links through LinkedIn instead of my usual Twitter and Google+; if we’re not already connected it would be great to link up on one or more of the networks.

Why do we ignore life essentials?

October 15, 2010 by Kate Davis Leave a Comment

I have to admit that I’ve felt sluggish over the last few months and found it difficult to get going. I’ve looked at this from several different angles such as having the wrong tasks or working at the wrong times of day, but I’ve been missing the obvious; I’m lacking good quality sleep. Adequate sleep is crucial to proper brain function – no less so than air, water, and food …Any amount of sleep deprivation Continue Reading …

Using GTD to reduce negative environmental impacts

October 15, 2007 by Kate Davis 4 Comments

Through my job I have learnt how to help businesses reduce their negative environmental impact by minimising their resource use, and through my implementation of concepts from Getting Things Done I have learnt how to do things! By combining this knowledge I have developed a method of using GTD to help reduce personal negative environmental impact (or increase positive impacts). For a business to improve its environmental performance, it is beneficial for it to develop Continue Reading …

My thoughts on today’s news on climate change

July 7, 2007 by Kate Davis Leave a Comment

There were two interesting news items on the breakfast news this morning about climate change; obviously the Live Earth concerts and also the plan to educate UK children about climate change. News items on environmental stories always interest me as an environmental consultant and even though I don’t work on the energy side these two stories did get me thinking, so I thought I would share my thoughts with you. Educating children about global warming Continue Reading …

Climate change, its more than energy usage

April 1, 2007 by Kate Davis Leave a Comment

I’ve just watched The Inconvenient Truth. I first came across Al Gore when I read his book Earth in the balance* at university for one of my assignments. Now, when politicians are trying to out do each other on how green they are (in the UK anyway), I found it very interesting to hear that Al Gore’s interest in this subject is long standing and not for current political gain. Out of interest, my attraction Continue Reading …

I'm a working mum of two children, and I believe everything benefits from being simpler. Although I'm not as good as I'd like at achieving simplification. I often get caught up on writing lists or planning the most efficient method of achieving things instead. Read More…
