Just a quick post to wish everyone a very Happy New Year. May it be healthy and sustainable. We’re back to work and the Christmas greeting on the Sustainability Consult homepage has been replaced with our lovely mountain, but we’ve added it to the blog here to retain every last ounce of Christmas cheer going into the New Year.
New Year, new priorities? Not really. We’re absolutely committed still to giving the best and the most creative service to our clients and the media we deal with and trying to make business a better place to operate. On a more personal level, every year we develop our skills and strive for balance. My own driving force is to provide the best service while remaining flexible. It’s a different business model but I feel I’m proving that it works. Indulging my passion for travel, for living between different locations, for the mountains and open spaces which, still thankfully, fill this earth. It’s a win-win situation as I know this flexibility fuels my creativity.
Talking of skills, last year’s focus, or you could say fixation, was social media with twitter and friends giving us lots of fun and showing themselves to be a fantastic resource for news and networking. Follow us at twitter.com/kathrynsheridan or contact us for a training on green blogs.
Operating in the downturn, we’ve seen many seasoned professionals lose their jobs and embrace freelancing and self-employment to sustain them and their families. We wish them all the best and look forward to extending our network to make the most of all this expertise which has now become available. I’m just grateful that we launched Sustainability Consult before the worst of the downturn hit.
All the best,
Kathryn

Christmas Greetings
Following on from our donation to Pump Aid last Christmas, Sustainability Consult will this year give its support to Solar Aid, a charity which brings solar power to villages in Africa. Our donation will go towards the 'Solar for Children' project in rural Tanzania, effectively providing electricity for 60 school children.
We really believe in this project as it not only provides materials and training to help villagers become more self-sufficient in their energy supply, but will also reduce carbon emissions and improve indoor air quality. Last year, we helped bring clean water to an African village freeing up more time for study and entrepreneurship and we believe bringing clean electricity into a small community can do the same, as well as bringing significant health and environment benefits. Less firewood will be burned and kerosene lamps will no longer be the only source of light.
Solar Aid
SolarAid aims to enable the world's poorest people to have clean, renewable power. Solar power leads to better education, health, safety and income by allowing poor communities to cook, pump water, run fridges, store vaccines, light homes, schools, clinics and businesses, power computers and homes, farm more effectively, and much more.
For more information, see http://solar-aid.org/video.
From the Sustainability Consult Network, I would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and all the best for a happy, healthy 2010,
Kathryn
