Sue Stockdale talks to Carrie Cort, founder of Sussex Green Living about the action she has taken to inspire others in her community to adopt a more sustainable lifestyle. She explains some of the approaches she has taken to do this, including retrofitting a 1974 milk float, organising a pop-up environmental festival using a six-ton lorry powered with recycled cooking oil, and launching a monthly repair café.Carrie describes herself as a passionate and optimistically stubborn environmentalist. In 2011 with a 4-year-old son and growing concern for his future, worsening global warming and little time to achieve zero emissions, she decided to act and launched the charity, Sussex Green Living on 22nd April 2012 Earth Day. Her idea was to develop a network of people working together to create a more sustainable world. To educate herself, Carrie completed waste prevention training in 2012 and climate change training in 2016 delivered by the former US Vice President Al Gore and leading climate change scientists.
