Julia Hailes MBE

Sustainability Pioneer

I'm involved in a wide range of projects focused on making a real world impact, socially and environmentally.

Learn more about the projects I am involved with by following the links below. Alongside further details, each page displays any blog posts I have made relating to the projects.

Rubbish Ideas

I’m a director of Rubbish Ideas, a company whose mission is to create a waste-free world. They have developed a state-of-the-art tracking system, for companies that want to put the circular economy into practice.

Rainforest Trust

I’m a Trustee of the Rainforest Trust whose mission is to save endangered wildlife and lock up huge carbon sinks by creating rainforest reserves.

Wilding Weekend

I started wilding at my home in West Dorset in 2020 during lock-down. It has been a revelation, and I now organise Wilding Weekends, an annual event drawing attention to the benefits of rewilding land.

Good Poo, Bad Poo

Poo might make you smile, but it’s no joke. Wild animal poo helps grow forests, feed insects, enrich soils and keep ecosystems in balance. Human poo, by contrast — along with the waste from billions of farmed animals and pets — is a very different story.
