“If food waste were a country, it would be the third-largest emitter of greenhouse gases after China and the USA” - The Fate of Food by Amanda Little

Sarah Christensen is a designer who cares deeply about the effect her work has on the planet and is researching and developing ways to make things that follow the principles of the circular economy.

Mary Oliver poses a good question:

Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?

This is a question that perhaps follows all of us around, but it did make me wonder what I was waiting for. I’d often felt a bit of a disconnect between my work as a furniture designer/maker and my personal values; so I decided to bring them closer together. This decision also coincided with Katie Treggiden launching Waste: A Masterclass, which gave me the knowledge to start and a community to share ideas with. I now have a job that I love and care about and I am excited about my future as a maker.
