“Change has to happen!“
“It was so devastating to know that humans having an impact from so far away!”

Rachel Cooper is the youngest woman ever selected as one out of 100 female scientist around the world to go to the Antarctica with Homeward Bound, a women’s leadership program. At the shore of Antartica, far away from human society, she found some plastic pieces and saw the impact of climate change right in front of her.

She has two passions in life - one is creating a positive longterm impact in the world for people and the environment and the other is adventure and exploring, like skiing, hiking and climbing. She worked as a climate change adviser for the New Zealand government and as a climate scientist.

Her huge love for the environment grew into the wish to protect it what lead her into studying environmental science at the university. We talk about climate change. About recent events according to that and the impact of community and economy structures.
Did you know that New Zealand’s agriculture industry makes up 50% of the country’s emissions?! We talk about some solutions of New Zealand’s government like the agriculture emission reduction policies and the zero carbon bill. 

We talk about her actual projects and studies about circulate economics and share some personal experiences about the beauty of nature. She gives some interesting and impactful tips what you personally can do to make a change.

We also talk about self-care and believing into the own power and abilities. Why you should focus your energy forwards to what you could do, rather than backwards what you did already? Join in and find out…
