Converting people to Sodastream (Nov18)
Many of us remember having a Sodastream in our childhood. Then it seemed to disappear from consciousness. Now it’s back. It’s only been 10 years since I started liking sparkling water. Before then, I couldn’t understand why people weren’t happy with tap water. Now, I’ve quite keen on having a cool glass of fizz with […]
War on Waste – Not just plastics (Oct18)
I’ve now done multiple speeches about plastics and waste. The more I do, the more committed I am to changing our wasteful, disposable society. We’ve adopted practices that are ridiculous in their wastefulness and think nothing of it. Here are some examples: Online Shopping: I live in rural Dorset and do most of my shopping […]

My husband, Jamie Macdonald, has recently co-invested in an artisan fishing trawler with Nick Fisher, who co-wrote the Fish Cook Book with Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall. One of their first commercial […]

She was being recognised for 30 years of trailblazing in green investment. What […]
Plastics-free everywhere (Jun18)
The plastic-free phenomenon is everywhere… I was walking between meetings in Soho and came across a shop front with all its windows showing art installations of our disposable plastics culture – with coffee cups, straws and other paraphernalia. I went in to find out more and discovered Tyrone Wood from We Are Project Zero. The […]
How good is my re-usable bamboo cup? (Jun18)
