Saving the planet: how to find your missing ‘why’

The key to saving the planet is more about the ‘why’ than the ‘how’. But not the big why — future generations and all that stuff — the little why. The ‘why’ inside each of us: our love for nature, our sadness and anger about its destruction. But it seems to be missing. And this is the critical piece of the puzzle. ‘How’ won’t fit into place until ‘why’ is there. We are all capable of having that ‘why’ (we were born with it in fact), but because we turn away from the truth we shut it down. Well I want to help you get it back. The future of this planet depends on it.

Living greener — why it’s not a trendy lifestyle choice but necessary for our survival

In 2017 I had a huge wake-up call. I learned the stark reality of how 165 million tonnes of plastic waste in the world’s oceans is impacting on marine life and just how pervasive it is. 2017 was the year I accepted that if I swim at the beach now I am swimming amongst tiny plastic particles, and if I eat seafood I am ingesting plastic. It was the year I tried to get my head around the fact that by 2050 there will be more plastic in the oceans than fish. This is a situation that humankind has created in a very short time, and now we are facing an environmental crisis.
