Interview with Archie Prentice

Highlands and Islands Enterprise Sustainable Development and Environment Manager

Archie Prentice chose two issues to discuss during our interview. The first was global warming and the second was unsustainable use of resources. What interested me most about this interview was his use of personal imagery. He talked about the way in which ski resorts in Scotland have changed over the last ten years, and that now there is much less snow. He talked about his sadness about not being able to build a snowman with his child, despite living in Highlands of Scotland. He talked about the problems of waste disposal and local dumps in which the trash escapes from the cage and litters the landscape.
