About Guy Monson

One evening a few years ago I found myself sitting in a sweltering mud hut in Sri Lanka and had a lightbulb moment - I say 'lightbulb', in fact it was an ancient lamp.It was really a case of 'the dog that didn't bark'. As I was choking on paraffin fumes from the lamp by which my host was serving me tea and her children were doing their homework, I realised that I was the only one coughing because my hosts had got used to the toxic fumes that were poisoning them.Next, I realised that we could use simple, clean, cheap solar lighting technology along with our existing supply contacts from the company we ran (Proporta) to clean up people’s air six thousand miles from my home... and keep it clean. This led us to set up a charity (OneSky.charity) which has helped 120 children and counting - replacing paraffin lamps with clean, green solar lamps powered for free by Sri Lanka’s plentiful sunlight, installing fresh drinking water wells and helping with the costs of staying in education – books, uniforms, a bike... We had begun a journey.Next, we set up OneSky.blue and partnered with UCL to develop a small air pollution monitor which reveals invisible air pollution like PM2.5, VOCs and CO2. And now we’ll be doing everything we can to tell people what's in their air and how to improve it with simple steps. We want people to see the invisible killer of air pollution and become 'air aware'. What’s more, we’re a whole load more confident we’ll get the job done because OneSky has received investments from tech-for-good accelerators, Bethnal Green Ventures and Sustainable Ventures and the support of the Aster Foundation. Don't just sit there breathing - get in touch.http://onesky.bluehttp://onesky.charityhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/guymonson/

Our approach is hands-off from the UK and very hands-on from the Sri Lankan team - who know the situation on the ground in huge detail.Part of our work has included replacing dirty paraffin lamps with clean solar lamps to clean up the air in our students' homes and provide them with free lighting by which to do their homework in the dark tropical evenings.

    French Alps
    For six winter seasons I managed to slot in working in the French alps as rep, guide, barman... with my career. I did my first season in the small village of Orcieres near the ski resort of Merlette in the southern French alps, working in a bar and learning to be rude in French.This left me with a love of mountain sports (skiing, mountain biking, hiking, climbing), France and French - which I now speak pretty well (although I still provide my French friends with plenty of laughs).
