4. Can you share a sustainability/environmental project or story that you\’ve been involved in or heard about that stood out for you?
The Students Strike 4 Climate march when I was holding the kingfisher puppet. [Ed – See our \’Our Say\’ articles on the origins of the Student Strike 4 Climate movement here]

6. If you could hold one position of power in society, what would it be and what would you do to make the world more sustainable into the future?
Prime minister! I would put the environment at the second top spot to work on.
