About Creator and Founder - Nicolle Kuna (aka Nicole Kuna) - Melbourne, Australia
ABN 13 503 067
For many years I worked as a community lawyer, and feeling frustrated with the lack of 'legal literacy' amongst my clients, I wrote Common Sense Law (a behaviour change book on the law, Hybrid Publishers, 2001). This book is in libraries throughout Australia twelve years later.
However, my career wanderings always drew me back to my love for the planet, and my second book Green Spin (Or) Promoting the Green Message is another behaviour change book, about how we are learning to communicate as green messengers using less reasoning, less justification, and linear thinking and more eco-creativity - available on Smashwords, as an ebook.
See Green Spin book page for more information and other publications.
Creator and designer of this website, I aim to work more with businesses and teaching communities to strategise creative campaigns for brightening up their marketing approaches. I have worked with not for profits and established enterprises to develop sustainability, marketing and risk minimisation strategies, including Melbourne School of Fashion, Jolly People Community Services, Sustainable Gardening Australia, Australian Democrats (Higgins branch) and Victoria Uni. Am a member of the Futures Committee of Sustainable Gardening Australia and worked for over 10 years in public interest law, running workshops in sustainable financial practices and community legal education. I completed a Sustainability Diploma at Swinburne (Hawthorn) in 2011 and have been an active campaigner with a wide range of environmental groups.
I have a blog (blooming and bold blogspot) about how the needs of our gardens and the wider land intersect and do site visits on sustainable plant selections and gardening practices.
