International warzone film-maker turned eco-entrepreneur to talk in Teesside

A former journalist and docummentary film market turned eco-entrepreneur will share his story with businesspeople in Teesside.

As a young man Reed Paget travelled the world docummenting warzones, and witnessed events such as the massacre in Tiananmen Square, civil war in South Africa and the collapse of the Soviet Union.

He now runs the One Earth Innovation company that designs and builds environmentally friendly products, and encourages businesses to limit their damage to the environment.

Reed also founded Belu Water - which claims to be the world’s first carbon neutral bottled water - and the first in Europe to use compostable bottles made from corn.

Business leaders from across the region are invited to hear Reed speak at Teesside University’s Business Exchange event on Tuesday January 28 at 8am - 9.30am. For more information visit www.tees.ac.uk/exchange.
