David is an Australian and was a member of the Rotary club of Brisbane Planetarium in District 9600. He resigned in 2005 to work and live in mainland China.
During his time as Chair, Preserve Planet Earth (PPE) Programs were delivered to Districts 9600 and 9630. These included an education program called “Saving Money and the Environment”.

These presentations were delivered by PPE committee members to over 200 Rotary clubs, 1000 school children and many other community organisations.

He was District 9600 Chair of Preserve Planet Earth from 2002 to 2005.
He represented RI Preserve Planet Earth in the House of Friendship at the RI Convention held in Brisbane in 2004.
David is an engineer but his passion has been Environmental protection and was active in energy management throughout his career. Over the past five years he has focussed on Environmental Education.
During his time as Chair, Preserve Planet Earth Programs were delivered to Districts 9600and 9630.
These included:
1. An education program called “Saving Money and the Environment”. This explained the how Sustainable Development can be profitable and still reduce pollution in our everyday lives. These presentations were delivered by PPE committee members to over 200 Rotary clubs, 1000 school children and many other community organisations.
2. “Enviro Kits” containing water saving devices and high efficiency lights were supplied and installed to disadvantaged people who benefited through significant savings in water, gas and electricity. In two years this program saved poor people $30000HK, 5.5 mega litres of water and 123 tonnes of Green House Gas.
3. “Water Wisdom” was developed in conjunction with the Brisbane City Council in direct response to the worst drought in Australia’s history. This program is helping reduce personal water consumption in every day life.

2006: Adopt a School Environmental E-Newspaper
I would like to solicit your support in the School ERT E-Newspaper project organized by Earth Rescue Team and supported by Rotary International District 3450. The project is a very meaningful one which can improve the awareness of students in environmental protection and at the same time, their writing skills. Earth Rescue Team hopes to target a minimum of 100 schools. The Preserve Planet Earth Committee of the District has taken the lead by adopting 5 School ERT E-Newspapers (HK$1000 per school) so that 5 schools are encouraged to complete the on-line E-Newspaper in the first 6 months of 2007. The Committee also seeks your response to commit adopting one School E-Newspapers for your club. Adopting more than one E-Newspaper is welcomed! Clubs which has adopted a school or sponsored an Interact Club are welcome to promote this E-newspaper project to them and sponsor them accordingly.
