Originally from Edinburgh, Norah completed the MSc in 2002. She now lives on the Scottish isle of Eigg, with her partner Bob Wallace (also a CHE graduate) and three small children. Together they run the Earth Connections Sustainability Centre.

Norah writes: Currently, we're renovating an old building in an eco way, creating an organic garden, renewable energy demo project and lots more. We aim to eventually be a visitor and residential centre running workshops, courses and providing info on all aspects of green living.

The MSc affected my life in many ways! Personally, I met my partner and together we were inspired by the CHE course to put the theory we learned into practise and start our Centre. Also CHE links with Eigg helped us find this amazing place.

We try to put ecological principles into all that we do here - materials and energy we use, our relationships with ourselves and our community, linking local and global issues, the food we eat, the books we read, who we vote for... the list is endless!
