Australian Inconvenient Truth - BREAKFAST (PDF 190.38kb)
About: It's said that the current generation doesn't own the earth, it borrows it from their children. If this is true, we're about to inherit a problem. The future of the property industry, like the rest of the world, rests with the decisions we make now.
Come to the Property Council's Future Directions breakfast in November to hear about this inconvenient truth from someone trained by the man behind the world-changing movie of the same name. Darren Bilsborough has been trained by Nobel Peace Prize winner Al Gore under the Australian Conservation Foundation's Climate Project to deliver the hard-hitting presentation about the reality that is now setting in.
