When I was 19 I went to university to study Philosophy and Ethics. I wanted to learn about the ‘Big Questions’ and about how we should live. My aim was to study our human problems, things like conflict, poverty, and rights – because I thought that working on such issues was the most worthwhile thing I could do with myself. And then, while I was studying, I started to learn about environmental ethics, about the movement and about the crises. At some point the penny dropped and I realised that without an environment humanitarian work would be pointless. Not long after that I joined my local Greenpeace group and became an environmental campaigner.
Since then I’ve been involved with a lot of campaigns, become an activist and an environmental blogger, and have been back to University to study for a Masters. I wrote my dissertation on the ethics of being sustainable in a world facing climate change – it was a tough project to write. Climate change is the environmental problem that most motivates, and scares, me – but it’s one of a host of very serious problems. I’m also interested in marine issues and loss of biodiversity. I strongly believe that to live in a just and stable world we have to learn to live within our means – not just for the sake of the environment, but for those we share this planet with – and that that means we have to change our whole way of viewing the world, as quickly as possible.
