Environmental Awareness Seminars and Eco-Living Training
GreenSteps can offer comprehensive Environmental Awareness and Eco-Living Training programmes which range from online surveys and interactive training software to seminars and presentations with polar explorer Tom Avery.

Any organisation with a green agenda will recognise that no amount of green technological solutions will provide a satisfactory substitute for behavioural change amongst users of that technology. When attempting to engage a community in an eco-project such as an energy saving or water saving scheme, energy or water saving technologies alone will not achieve the best results. In fact, some studies have shown that energy and water usage actually increases after the introduction of new technologies. Why? Because the user has a poor understanding of how to use the technology and has a sense of complacency because the technology is in place.

Tom Avery
GreenSteps is delighted to have Tom Avery as a presenter. Tom is one of the UK's leading young explorers. As one of only 38 people in history to have reached both the North and the 
South poles on foot, Tom has witnessed the impact of man on the polar ice-caps first hand. As a graduate of geography and geology, Tom combines his own first hand experiences of our planet's most extreme environments with a detailed scientific understanding of how man is affecting the world. Combining this with his passion for green
technologies and eco-friendly living, Tom is an excellent speaker, able to motivate even the most stubborn of audiences to take up the green challenge in their everyday lives.
