There comes a time when things just slot themselves into place.
That is what happened with Greener View. Events happen, thoughts change and you look at things with new eyes – a fresh perspective.
For some time I felt that we needed to slow things down, to get back to what was really important and to take care of our fragile world. I wanted to know how to do that and where to find out about what was happening locally (in Scotland).
Scotland is a very vibrant and special place; we have a wealth of natural resources and talented people all doing great things to bring us good products and services in an environmentally friendly way and to make a real change to sustainable living.
So Greener View was started to bring all of that together in a place where people can get information they may need to make their own decision on a greener lifestyle (and we all have very different priorities), to raise awareness about environmental issues as they affect us in Scotland but also to let people know about these fantastic individuals and businesses who work tirelessly to bring us great products and services in an environmentally friendly way.
I hope you enjoy the magazine and the website; keep in touch and let me know how you are doing. You may know of someone we should know about or you may just have some interesting snippet to tell, either way I would love to hear from you.
So for your fresh perspective – where will it take you?
