Clayton may be considered one of the first Global Change "refugees" in Canada. He moved to Ontario from BC where the Mountain Pine Beetle is destroying the pine forests, as well as uprooting and changing communities forever. Clayton has successfully reduced the carbon foot print of both his business and his personal life. This process involves regular measurements and smart, incremental, ongoing steps in the right direction. Clayton has designed and installed internet connectivity systems using solar and wind power for off-grid infrastructure. With the help of his team, he developed solutions to help their clients web-enable systems to handle substantial volume increase in their business without the offsetting increase in overhead.

Among Clayton's past and present clients are: Canfor, Intuit, Provincial Learning Network (BC), Catholic School Board, numerous First Nation communities, many small and large businesses in Canada and the US.
