our green team

JOHN DALE BECKLEY

Founder

I started the Canary Green brand after attending the opening of the Bioclimatic Village in Tenerife – the first of its kind in the world. I was not just made aware of the Bioclimatic village but also all the good work being done by ITER a research centre for renewable energies and new technologies. Finding out about all this good work Tenerife was undertaking to fight global warming coincided with yet another report on the devastating impact climate change is having on our planet. I saw the need to help showcase the work that the Canary Islands were doing to play our part in establishing a sustainable future.
