About Joseph

I am an environmentally conscious individual willing to consistency go ‘the extra mile’ to ensure the project, training course, information giving is of the highest possible standard to my skill level. Environmental protection, and sustainability have always been at the core of my beliefs that has helped me grow a passion into a career. The ability to pass on knowledge to others is something I am particularly keen on doing, as the more the knowledge can be spread, the better chance we have for saving our planet. Previous experience includes focusing on sustainable waste, and contaminated land. I truly believe that we all have the potential to do better, and I am here to help facilitate humanities transaction to a carbon free future.
