With the endless influx of news about the increasing damage caused to our environment, I have recently pledged to donate a portion of my earnings from direct clients to organisations/charities that work for the protection of our environment, the conservation of biodiversity and other citizen engagement initiatives.
This endeavour, insignificant as it may seem in the face of the problem at hand, stems from a simple and instinctive reflection: my son is now 4 years old and I cannot help but worry about the world he is growing in. I would like to believe he will have the chance, or at least the possibility, to discover the wonders of our planet, to see animals in their natural environment rather than in zoos or natural history museums… so besides the small daily actions of sorting household waste, acting responsibly, occasionally picking up rubbish on our local beaches, I wish to take part in initiatives that can have an impact in other parts of the world.
This mindset also means I am very keen to work with businesses and organisations that participate in the efforts to protect the environment and curb the issues related to climate change, companies that develop and implement innovative technologies for clean energy production, pollution control, water treatment, waste recycling/upcycling, etc.
