The focus for Recycle Week this year is electrical items and small appliances. A new reuse and repair shop has opened this week on Seven Sisters Road as part of the Islington Council’s recycling initiative. Check it out!
My enthusiasm for climate change mitigation and the 'eco chic' way of life stemmed from a project on pollution, which I completed aged 11 whilst growing up in rural Devon. Through my (then somewhat limited) research, I discovered the horrors of anthropogenic influence on Earth. My concern and passion for reducing this impact has since been amplified, leading me to choose Geography as an MSci level subject at Bristol University.
I have taken many opportunities to explore these issues through both academic and extra-curricular activities. Firstly, from an academic standpoint, I chose a course stream that provided me with knowledge both of the scientific and sociological aspects of sustainability, as well as research methods pertaining to these interrelated areas. Secondly, I founded Green Waves radio show and wrote for papers and websites.
I am currently working in sustainable business in the Asia Pacific. I write for the Ethical Fashion Forum.
Sustainability is not an end point to be reached, but rather an ongoing process of continual amelioration.
