SAPICS - Young Professional Conference

26 August 2017 - Midrand, Johannesburg, Gauteng

The perfect audience! My topic was "Keep it Lean, Clean and Green - You have the Power". The what, why and how to reduce Climate Change and Ecocide.

These are the youngsters who will be sending out tenders in which they set the standards and specifications and will be assessing products and selecting suppliers. Can you imagine the power they have to be change agents?

The power to change how we manage economic growth; how to make better choices; how to insist on sustainable manufacturing and greener products; how to mitigate climate change, reduce or stop pollution, deforestation, child labour, rape of resources, land grabbing, animal abuse, over-fishing, toxic chemicals, GMOs in our food, greenhouse gasses - all by simply looking for a better way to do things and making more responsible choices.

What a delightful, attentive and inspired group of young people!
