The walk is more about Sustainability in business and people

Latest update of events being prepared for 2010

Change of start date for walk.

After consulting with John Eussen marketing consultant, he advised me to move the dates back to give me more time to organise the whole trip next year and now that I have started planning exactly what am going to do the trek will now start the Easter weekend in April.

What is the walking man about?

The trek is about an adventure that starts with the journey of one person, Ian Cleland.This journey will, over the next two years and beyond, bring together stories “About People” and the passions that drive their lives.

It will bring together ideas that through the efforts of many people, will set paths for moving toward sustainable futures. It will be about how individuals can make a difference in their world and the world around them.

The Journey

I have been an advocate of sustainability since the 70’s with the core area of interest in energy efficient building and systems.    
Starting in April 2010 I am walking from Melbourne to Brisbane. The objectives of this walk are to:

  • Facilitate workshops in every city and town along the journey to gather and share information for the creation of sustainable communities. These workshops will:
  • Create a network of local resources that can be shared across the whole society.
  • Create dynamic links between major population centers and rural country areas.
  • Create trust that develops positive constructive dialogue which is solution focused.
  • Develop strategies that work with local industries to develop sustainable businesses and industries.
  • To be inclusive of all people who want to be involved in the process.

I will also film  the walk and make a documentary , gathering  stories about people I meet along the way. 

My focus is to facilitate changes that stick and help people to create their own sustainable futures that are aligned with the values of the whole community and create the best solutions to the problems that are facing all of us and move toward sustainable futures.
