Where I've come from: I grew up in Leicester, lived in Yorkshire throughout my 20’s and 30’s and now live in Cheshire

A moral I live my life by: “You end up as you deserve. In old age, you must put up with the face, the friends, the health and the children you have earned.” Fay Weldon.

How I'm trying to live more sustainably: living mindlfully and simply and trying to have a light impact on the earth. 

I believe the greatest threat to our current society and environment is... the belief that one person cannot make a difference, when (to paraphrase Margaret Mead) it’s the only thing that ever will.

My 'dirty (sustainability) secret': I don't own a car but I am too quick to accept lifts in other people's! 

It may surprise you to know but... I’ve not used a plane in the last 10 years

If things had turned out differently I might have been... in a boring job!
