Straight talking sustainability
This is how it all started…
My eco-warrior journey started out as a primary school child when the World Wildlife Fund visited my school. I became aware of people who were looking out for Mother Nature and her creatures, and realised that I was one of those people.
The journey of an eco-warrior is never ending, and when I moved out of home I was quick to start growing my own herbs. At the same time I figured I may as well grow my own tomatoes and strawberries too, and this attempt led to an unexpected friendship with my elderly neighbour who didn’t speak English and I who didn’t speak Italian. What my neighbour didn’t know in English she made up for with food growing knowledge and kidness which she passed on to me. It was her influence that has led me down the path of empowering others to grow their own food.
