25 September 2019 Leave a Comment

16 April 2019 Leave a Comment

"Today is the start of a broader rebellion against business as usual. Taking inspiration from today, we need to stretch the rebellion into our workplaces. Not simply to disrupt. But to risk those awkward conversations with our colleagues, so every decision might begin to align with reducing or adapting to the climate crisis.

Don’t listen. Don’t stop. Don’t let your dreams shrink by one inch. Don’t forget that this … Continue reading
