Who are we?

David Mussared is a journalist, with a background in landcare and science communication.	Chris Duigan is a nurse, with a background in women's health and health administration.	Tully Bates is a communications professional, with a background in community arts and marketing.

Between us we have more than 35 years experience in on-line job advertising. Together and individually, Chris and David have won numerous awards for environmental communication and business.

We are real people, and so are our visitors and subscribers

David and Chris (and our four children) live on a small property in beautiful Aldgate Valley, in the Adelaide Hills. Our office is a converted farm shed. Tully works remotely from her home on a fruit block near Loxton on the River Murray.

Our ecological footprint

Here are some of the practical things we do in our home and office to try to reduce our ecological footrpint:

• We have donated more than $50,000 from NRMjobs to environmental groups and projects, mostly in our local area.
• We have no mains water (we use rainwater for all office and household purposes).
• Our electricity is generated by solar power (photovoltaic).
• We use only recycled paper, and we use as little of it as possible (most business correspondence is electronic).
• Our waste paper is either recycled, or shredded, used as chook litter and eventually dug into our vegetable garden.
• We have fenced off about a third of our property for bushland revegetation and regeneration.
• We use a solar water heater, and in winter our hot water is also piped through our slow combustion heater (all firewood is collected sustainably on our own property).
• We are both active members of our local Aldgate Valley Landcare group.

We believe all businesses should place as much importance on supporting their communities and conserving the environment as they do on generating profits. Our aim is to leave our kids a world at least as beautiful as the one we inherited.

Through NRMjobs we are in touch with a network of inspirational people who are also committed to this triple bottom line approach. We feel privileged to work in such company.
