I’m excited to share my passion for sustainability and work together with you to help raise awareness, incite change and reduce our impact on the environment. To me, my role as sustainability captain is to help bring a sustainable focus into your lives. I want to spread awareness about unsustainable actions and how you can personally reduce your own impact on the environment. When we are trying to solve a global crisis, the best place to start is within our own lives. Some issues I want to tackle next year are food waste and fast fashion waste. I am also interested in installing an electric bike hire for people who would like a more sustainable transport option.
