	Smantha Smith, Peregian I love living at Peregian Beach. I am an environmental and sustainability consultant with a keen interest in how we humans interact with the biosphere …how we set ourseleves up in an urban environment…how we do business…the type of infrastructure and the amount of natural resources used to support our lifestyles. What motivates me is learning how our accumulative actions at the local community level inter-relate with the planet’s global communities and processes.
