We’re passionate about our planet — from the food we put on our plates to the transport we choose to use. As vegans, we try our best to leave as little trace as possible and tread lightly on our earth. But after experiencing a harsh winter followed by one of the hottest summers on record, after seeing our oceans filling with plastic and watching landfill sites overflow, it’s undeniable that we need to do even more.
We’ve put together this mini-mag to explore some of the issues wreaking havoc on our precious world and, more importantly, to help inspire people to take action to save it. We meet the inspirational Sophie Rae, founder of Ripple, who has opened a zerowaste store in Cardiff. Sophie is encouraging shoppers to become more conscious about their consumption, and cleaning up her home city as she does so. Turn to page 16 for her top zero-waste living advice.
