Gary Tyrrell talks passionately about why we should connect with the beauty of nature around us.
A Tallaght native, Gary has spent most of his life living in the area, He has always been an admirer of the outstanding natural beauty that his locality has to offer. Ever since he was a young boy scout, Gary has always relished being outdoors. It is this early enjoyment and appreciation of the outdoors that has led to a shift in career, from a stable job as an engineer for a multi-national company, to a less stable, but ultimately more enriching career as an environmental educator.
Having achieved a 1st Class Honours in Energy & Environmental Engineering and a Masters in Environmental Policy, he now lectures in IT Tallaght, teaches outdoor education with Sonairte and Coillte's 'Compass Club', voluntarily gives talks about climate change as one of Al Gore's 'Climate Reality Leaders', is a Dublin Mountain Ranger, takes part in local clean ups and is an activist with Friends of the Earth.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
