My name is Ruth Williams. I live in Melbourne, Australia.

After completing the Graduate Certificate in Sustainability at Swinburne in 2014, ‘Sustainability’ became the newest chapter in my book. In the years that have followed since doing the course, I have noticed that one of the main issues around dealing with change of any kind is our ability to be open to it, whether it be using less plastic or facing a complete change in one’s circumstances.

Over the years I have been involved in several community groups, mainly focused around keeping litter out of the waterways. I’ve was a coordinator with Darebin Creek Sweepers for six years and with Love our Street for a few months.

I have been teaching online for many years. I love working with the students who choose to study this way, it has been an honour to support them in finding their own form of expression.

I have taken a year’s leave without pay to set up a business as a home energy efficiency assessor. I currently believe that this is the best way I can contribute to the transition we all need to make as climate change affects our lives more each day.

Thank you for coming to my blog. I hope you will stay for a while and read back over some of my posts. I’m still quite proud of them.
