We can meet the challenge, but will we?
Climate change is visible & damaging
Amazing developments in technology
Seen as the future:
consumer demand
commercial opportunities
real sustainable development
Emission reductions & pledges in
many developed countries
Peer pressure
World leadership opportunity
Public pressure for action
Rise of populism
Vested interests
Money & influence in old industries
Selfishness of people & countries
Lack of concern for future
Dislike of regulations & constraints
Economic problems
Negotiations easily get bogged down

Humble beginnings... A family business
opportunity
In 2013 together with my husband we started working alongside my family as
a supplier of garden furniture, Field & Hawken was created and quickly the
business grew! I decided to take the plunge and become a small business
owner full-time in 2014 shortly after our second daughter was born.
