Testimonials

kerryGavin Harte’s presentation, ‘Climate for Change’ is cleverly put together, highly informative and superbly delivered. Gavin deals with complex science in a clear, precise manner that will be understood by all. He has the remarkable ability to deliver what is generally seen as ‘negative’ news in a way which will force people to examine their lifestyles and make the necessary changes. One does not come out of the presentation with a sense of hopelessness, but rather with an enthusiasm to make the changes and make a difference. Everyone in the country should see this presentation.

Gavins talk on Climate for Change delivers the message on the Climate Change in a manner that is easily understandable and concise; attendees appreciate how they are contributing to climate change in their day to day lives resulting from the choices they make.  The presentation is very informative and the material used make the issue of climate change very tangible.  Meath Local Authorities used Gavins talk to launch their climate change strategy, and would recommend the talk to other Local authorities and community groups.

The presentation (which consists of photographs, video clips and animations) highlighted the impact of our daily activities and how these contribute to Climate Change.  Gavin’s style of presentation ensured all the audience were engaged from beginning to end.

sdcGavin’s presentation to South Dublin County Council’s Environmental SPC was well received; it was clear, conscious and engaging. The presentation was set out so that it was easy to understand the science and challenges in relation to Climate Change. It is a presentation I would recommend to anyone who wishes to understand what is meant by Climate Change and to reinforce the concept that a combination of individual actions can make a difference.
