Why are you passionate about sustainability?
I have been interested in sustainability since I was really young. It started when I watched the Green Peace campaigns and I felt so inspired that people were taking care of the environment and were doing everything possible to stop climate change and environmental degradation. I think people can make more than money during their life, and that all of us can use our skills to create a more equalitarian and environmentally friendly society.
