Proud As Punch

February 14, 2012 @ 16:00 By Gavin Webber 12 Comments

Look what arrived in the mail yesterday.

You can see that I am very happy, and I am very proud that I stuck to my guns with this one.  It took a fair bit of effort last year to complete the Diploma of Carbon Management.  Many hours doing energy and resource audits, calculating greenhouse gas emissions, then trying to figure out the best way to abate the emissions at the cheapest cost to the business, then attempt to implement the plan in a real life environment!  All the while holding down a full time job, and keeping up with all my greening activities and the sustainable living group workshops.  What a year it was.

Who knows what this little piece of paper will bring, now that we have a carbon tax about to start in July?  Goodness, I hope.

Will this article help someone you know? If so help them out by sharing now!
