Sarah Williams

lo_Sarah_Williams.jpg“Sarah would like to be remembered as someone who has made a difference to the conservation of the planet, for future generations and wildlife. She initially worked for the Northwest Development Agency, a government funded agency, which delivers and drives economic development in North West England but has recently joined the NWDAs Energy & Environmental cluster organisation; Envirolink, working as a Business Development Manager, supporting the low carbon market development in Greater Manchester. Sarah feels that the major companies in the UK are responsible for much of the issues relating to climate change. She would like to see real changes in their attitudes for making climate change one of their key action areas - not simply marketing gimmicks, appearing to be ‘green’, but actually visibly showing that they are supporting climate change and reducing their carbon footprint”

 
 
 
The Local Ecological and Economical Cuisine (LILEK) project of the Czech Climate Advocates used the spellbinding genre of fairy tales to convey their message about the positive health, environmental and economic aspects of eating locally produced, seasonal food.
