Dr. Bruce is a single Sustainable Design Engineer in the swinging metropolis of Sydney Australia; where he lives in a two story terrace with two housemates. At twenty-eight years old he is especially enjoying the culture and lifestyle of the beaches and the harbour of this great city; which are all a far cry from his upbringing. Which is best described as...bohemian (he grew up in a mud brick house with his parents). This early life has actually served Dr. Bruce's career and life well, allowing him to balance core sustainable values with new pleasures which don't fall squarely in the sustainable sector. Dr. Bruce is up for any new type of food and unlike most sustainability advocates loves Kangaroo steak; he enjoys international travel and has explored South America, Europe and Australia. The Sustainability Engineer in him would one day like to visit Japan which he thinks is a likely model for what the future will have to be in the build environment. Until that adventure arrives Dr. Bruce is actively engaged in volunteer work and is well known within his local community.

Dr. Bruce is excited to have witnessed the birth of the world's first carbon neutral city, in Abu Dhabi. Technology is abundant and cheap (his fridge can now communicate with his TV via the internet) however the remaining natural resources are constantly fought over in violent wars. As temperatures rose due to global warming, Dr. Bruce and his new young family moved to England in search of cooler climes. Climate change has also seen several places vanish under rising sea levels, but new underwater train lines have made the most of this challenge.

Dr Bruce continues to work in sustainable technology and built environment. He worries about issues relating to poverty both locally and internationally. He is connected to his local community that have banded together as a collective with aims to affect change locally through their own lifestyle choices. This heartens him greatly.
