Ron Allen is awarded the NEW prestigious Chartered Environmentalist status
The following are selected highlights from CIWEM's Water & Environment Magazine February 2005.
If the 19th century was the era of the engineer, the 21st century will come to be celebrated as the era of the environmentalist.
Sustainable environmental management is the message and Chartered Environmentalists will be the champions of new attitudes that re-engage the public with their natural environment and the communities in which they live and work.
Chartered Environmentalists will be developing and communicating the innovative solutions needed to square the circle of a sustainable environment, while meeting the sometimes conflicting needs of people.
To be squeaky clean can no longer be a lifestyle choice restricted to the chattering classes, or merely the subject of smart talk in the political salons of Westminster, it is an essential goal for all. To that extent we must all be environmentalists now. But, it is the Chartered Environmentalists who will lead the way.
Chartered Environmentalists are those professionals able to meet tough qualifying criteria and who can demonstrate knowledge and engagement in sustainable environmental management.
The environmental profession has come of age and you can see the constituent bodies of the Society for the Environment here.
