Sorry, I get so many questions it’s so hard to answer them all! And some are repeated quite a bit.
So at the moment I’m working on a carbon reduction strategy project, so I assess how many emissions the company is contributing and work out a strategy to help them reduce their emissions up to their target ‘net zero carbon’ date.
Another one is on a museum based in London – it’s a project re-vamping the museum and building new elements, and I’m helping advise them on the most sustainable options that are kindest to the environment and better for people. Eg. improving their green space and biodiversity in the gardens, improving accessibility, and affordability, reducing single use plastics, etc.
Another project I’m working on is assessing the impacts of farmers’ new plans on their land – they’re ways of sustainably managing the land to improve the environment and do things like reduce flood risk and water pollution. Farmers will be paid for doing these great activities! And our assessments will help inform what they should be paid for providing these benefits.

Also that’s great! Follow your passion, the world needs more people like you who care about it and want to make the best impact they can/make positive change 🙂
