About

I am Paul Martin, environmentalist and writer from Flintshire in North Wales. In 2008, after a 20-year career in the aerospace industry, I decided to follow my life-long interest and study a BSc Environmental Studies and a Diploma in Environmental Policy with the Open University. I also took on volunteer roles with environmental organisations before going on to study a practical writing course, and then a MSc in Energy Sustainability with the Graduate School for the Environment at the Centre for Alternative Technology in Machynlleth, Wales. During and since my studies I have been striving to achieve a low, and eventually zero-carbon lifestyle. I now spend my time encouraging others to live an environmentally responsible life, through writing articles and guest blogs about my experiences. In 2023 I became a co-founder and director of EVA Cymru, Wales’ National representative body for electric vehicle owners and drivers.

My knowledge of both Environmental Science and engineering lead me to be optimistic about the technological and ecological solutions that are going to help us to mitigate and adapt to climate change. It is this holistic, two-pronged approach that we must embrace to achieve a sustainable, climate-stable future.
