49 - My Changing Planet
With My Changing Planet
“"One of the reasons we wanted to do this project was to say to government leaders, look at the bigger picture, look at ocean health on a planet basis rather than just firefighting around the smaller problems we are facing."”
Reflections
Q1: Place
If we could do a flypast on any part of the world that is significant to you, which place, city or country would it be and why?
St Kilda in the Hebrides Isles in Scotland
Q2: Life
Give us a glimpse into your life story so far with an emphasis on what you are doing currently?
Seeking to reconnect with a childhood love and curiosity around nature. Frustrated and jaded by academia and a clinical life firefighting problems that are preventable. This sailing adventure to COP is about reconnection but also about listening to the oceans and challenging leaders to take a more holistic view of the oceans.
Q3: Reset
Where on earth is your place or reset or re-charge?
Nature - Where we find a sense of peace but also where we find answers

Q5: Hopefulness
What is your story of hopefulness (not your own) about a person, business or non-profit who are doing amazing things for the world?
