Erland Howden’s Summary

I have worked on environmental issues for several years, at a political level in state parliament with the Greens party, as a volunteer with a number of environmental non-government organisations, as the Environmental Officer with an electronics company and as a professional campaigner with the Nature Conservation Council of NSW.

I am also a professional photographer and graphic designer. I was the photographer for the Sydney circular "The City News" for a year and a half, as well as being finalist in two prestigious photographic competitions and working as a freelance event photographer for Willoughby City Council and other private clients. I have also been doing freelance design work and selling prints of my photographs and designs for a few years.

I have expertise in open-source software solutions and have done a range of freelance web design projects, as well as creating and managing an online community with my job as Climate Movement Coordinator with the Nature Conservation Council.
