Graham Whitmarsh joined the BC Public Service as Chief Advisor for Carbon Trading in April of 2007. Shortly thereafter, he was appointed the Head of the Climate Action Secretariat following an extensive public competition. As Head of the Climate Action Secretariat, Graham’s responsibilities are critical to achieving the Province’s aggressive targets of cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 33 percent by 2020 and making the government of British Columbia carbon neutral by 2010.
JAMES TANSEY
James co-founded Offsetters Climate Neutral Society in 2005, and currently sits as its Chief Executive Officer. Since 2006, he has been a professor of Business Ethics at the University of British Columbia, jointly appointed between the Sauder School of Business and the W. Maurice Young Centre for Applied Ethics. James’ research activities cover a number of areas including social enterprise, climate change, and the social impacts and acceptability of new technologies. His current research focuses on emerging international markets for carboni exchange, social determinants of health in developed countries and the governance of biotechnology and genomics in Canada.
JOTHAM PETERS (bio to come)
KEVIN WASHBROOK (Moderator)
Kevin Washbrook is a director of Voters Taking Action on Climate Change, a Vancouver based organisation which encourages the public to get engaged politically around climate change.

Just in time to promote The Bundaberg 2008 World Environment Day Celebration on June 1, SustainaBundy will have a display in the Bundaberg Library. From the 12th to the 22nd May, a collection of SustainaBundy's books, magazines and DVDs on peak oil, climate change, sustainability, self sufficiency, organic gardening and more will be on display in the library entryway along with World Environment Day posters and information.
Following World Environment Day, the contents of the display will become a part of the library collection, available for borrowing by anyone with a Bundaberg Library card. A list of the items will be available on the SustainaBundy website so borrowers can ask for them by name.
The books, magazines and DVDs are from the personal collections of SustainaBundy members - the materials will do much more good if they're available to the wider community instead of just the owners, and we're happy to be able to use them to promote WED before they go into the library's inventory!
