Carrie Cort Painting the town green
With the support of her community, here is how one mother made it her mission to save the planet
Can one person really make a difference? Carrie Cort certainly proves you can, as her dedication to create a better planet and encourage eco-friendly lifestyles grabbed the attention and efforts of her county, leading to the creation of the Sussex Green Living Network. It all started in 2008, when Carrie became a mum and was increasingly concerned about the Earth and her son’s future. “I started getting depressed about climate change, so I set up the group in 2012. It was my night job whilst working three days as a director of a family run business with a four year old son. In 2014, I exited the corporate world to follow my passion and heart. I am a mum on a mission and an unstoppable mission at that!”
