I’m sustainable

In Spanish we say: the cleaner is not the one who cleans the most, but the one who dirties the least. If we apply this to sustainability, I try to reduce my dirt by traveling by bicycle and public transportation, buying (few) second hand clothes, extending the life of my cell phone and other electronic devices and avoiding plastic as much as possible.

The future I want

Fighting climate change is the great challenge of our time, as globalisation, industrialisation or illustration were our ancestors’ challenges. I hope my generation is up to the task and reaches a great transformation for the world we live and will live in; and I hope we find the courage to overcome the barriers that await us along the way, which will not be few.
