Profile - Helen Bull

Name: Helen Bull
Position title: Environmental Manager
Area: My function relates to the whole of CFA but I'm based in the Community Safety Directorate at CFA HQ
When did you join CFA? About 7 years ago
Special others: Bruce and Stella, my dogs
Favourite movie and why: Seriously… Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth because it's helped so many people around the world take climate change seriously. Apart from that, any movie from the 40s or 50s.
Most exciting moment: It has to be a toss up between standing up on a surf board for the first time (and staying on longer than a nanosecond), and presenting at the AFAC Conference with Elaine Stewart from MFB, and realising that it was possibly the first time in Australia and perhaps the world that emergency services had presented on how they’re managing their environmental initiatives.
Your favourite journey: My next one: a road trip with a mate to explore WA …after offsetting our greenhouse gas emissions, of course!
I wish I was still a child because … Hmmm, not sure that I still want to be a child. The next 50 years are going to be challenging ones because of climate change.
The best thing about living in: Olinda is living on a mountain top.
If I win Lotto I will: have no more excuses for not finishing the renovations!
If I had to choose another career I would be a … That's a hard one. A travel writer?
My life’s motto is: humans are part of the environment too and we need to look after our habitat.
