FuturEcoLogic helps to support and mentor business and organisations towards a better, balanced and sustainable future. We are passionate about delivering positive change and enabling sustainability leadership. Our knowledge and experience is wide-ranging, working across communities through to large, complex organisations.
There is so much brilliant work to share around sustainability, some difficult and challenging conflicts to resolve and whole, new systems to build. Collectively, we can achieve the necessary changes to build a truly sustainable future, one in which our children and grandchildren can continue to thrive.
Our planet is in a time of rapid flux; the rise of technology, environmental pollution and ecosystem breakdown, global trends and climate change are all affecting the future course of humanity. The time for change is now.
Experience
Michelle Furtado BA Hons Mst
Our planet is a wonder. The array of life supported within our biosphere is unknown to ourselves anywhere else in the universe. A reliance on fossil fuels, Western-style levels of consumption and a throwaway culture is endangering this wonder.
FuturEcoLogic responds to the need for sustainability capacity building, helping people understand, engage and take action, and inspiring change. Across my career, I have worked in an expert capacity for various bodies and with large complex organisations, communicating and empowering action from Boards and executives to street-level activism and community engagement.
There are lots of me’s out there and this gives me hope for the future. We do not underestimate the scale of the challenge, but recognise that collectively a shift is happening. This shift is as much about the heart as the mind, and it is the key to unlock how and what we value. Moving towards a sustainable future means value beyond money, ensuring we capture joy, richness of culture and connectedness with others.
We can rapidly increase the amount of climate action being taken at all levels of society, decarbonising energy, closing loops of consumption and waste, mitigating and adapting to change. FuturEcoLogic aims to build knowledge, enable action and share learning for everyone as we respond to necessary shifts that we all need to achieve.
