Publications and articles

Our world and its resources are precious

I have written a regular column for Resource magazine since 2005. Called A Sideways View, it does what is says - takes a different look at waste and resources and mixes the humorous and the serious in our business with equal measure.
It is a labour of love for a great magazine – if you don’t get it, subscribe now!
