IRK: Tell us your “Why” – This can be what inspired you to get started, why you keep going, and the spirit that drives you. 

I am for justice both environmental but above all social. These are my motivation for what I do.

IRK: What are you most passionate about with respect to taking care of people and the planet? 

Making sure that ecology goes hand in hand with correct anthropology. You cannot take care of the planet without taking care of the people that live on it.

IRK: What are some conscious actions you implement in your daily life?

I do all that I can and I teach students about social and environmental sustainability, I recycle and I don’t buy any garments that don’t match my ethical principles.

IRK: What’s your hope for the future of the planet? 

More conscious living for all of us.
