Without words

And the #climatejourney18 journey continues today as we leave Lisbon not by foot or electric bike, but by overnight train via Madrid to Valencia! 🚂 Travel is probably one of the areas that a lot of sustainability focused and minded people struggle with, when you like traveling and have family and friends around the world as well as seeing and enjoying all of earths magnificent nature and different cultures ⛰ Big shout out to the heroes in seats tonight as not enough beds. We definitely owe you some sangria 🍷 . . . #sustainabletravel #lisbonportugal #ecotravel #greenliving Often the most innovative solutions to climate change and resilience aren’t about tech and shiny things. 🤩 It’s about growing connections, community and green beans! All of which take time and longer term thinking and commitment. 🌱 With #climatejourney18 we visited the multiadapt project in Almada that is nurturing so much good stuff in the city. 🍅 Creating places and sinks for flood water, bringing back ecology in streams, combating erosion, creating green spaces and jobs and organic food growing for those with a low income. Mitigating & adapting with a human touch. 🙌 Beautiful 💚 . . . . #communitygrowing #ecodesigner #sustainableliving #ecoliving #ecodesign #ethicalliving #communitygarden #changemakers Sometimes when feeling out of your comfort zone, stressed or facing challenges it can be easy to get lost in the perceived negative little things and details, almost building it up to see what you want to see and create a place to direct your fear or frustration. 🧐 But take time to step back and appreciate all the good stuff, the positive things in your life and work. This can help you to become a resilient startup ( & human) 💙 Our #climatejourney18 Teams are being introduced to practices for life ( not just the journey or business), as they’re all interlinked. 🌏 Be grateful for all the good stuff you have and let the negative wash away . . . . 📷@4ammotivation #grateful🙌 #startupsupport #sustainablebusiness #resillience #positivethinking #creativehappylife #itsthelittlethings #thankful🙏 When you have an ocean of possibilities & challenges it can be difficult to choose which one to surf 🌊 🏄‍♀️ 🏄‍♂️ Our #climatejourney18 have picked their wave & now it’s time to start riding it together! . . . . #wavesofchange #oceanplastic #ecodesigner #sustainablebusiness #circulareconomy #startupcoach #changemakers #summerschool #creativehappylife #humancentereddesign #communityovercompetion What this world needs? More people to be kind and considerate humans really. 🌏 Willing to share, collaborate and show emotion. For each other, themselves and the planet. 💙 This week our one big #climatejourney18 group split into teams BUT we’re all still part of one emerging #journey5 and @eiteu community where caring and supporting each other is key! 🤛 . P.s. sorry for the quietness, been preserving my energy, but check out stories for little tasters. . . . 📷such nice reminders from @nataliefranke #communityovercompetion #ecocoach #startupcoach #startupnature #communityenergy #empathy #creativecoaching #bekindtooneanother #greenbusiness #circulareconomy #authenticliving “Plant eucalyptus trees for us, Pine trees for our children and cork trees for our grandchildren” 🌳 This saying shared here in Portugal with #climatejourney18 chimes so well with sustainable thinking and business design. . What are the businesses that we can plant now that will continue to support future generations? . With sustainability the early stages and up front costs can often be a barrier. . What perhaps are the diversification parts of a business that you can do to support reaching your long term goal, and impact, with also perhaps short term compromises? . How fast should a business grow and how big? Is that necessarily the best way to achieve environmental or social impact? . And most important how fast can relationships and trust grow? 🌿 . . . . #sustainableliving #sustainablebusiness #slowliving_create #growingideas #corktree #renewablematerials #ecodesigner #startupnature #inspiredbynature #trustyourgut #biomimicry #businessforgood #naturedoesitbest #sustainablefarming One of the things I love is beginning to see what wonderful seeds and plants of knowledge, experiences and ideas are growing in peoples minds. 🌱 Today with 39 students from around the world for #climatejourney18 it was all about beginning to notice and share each other’s rich gardens, jungles and forests that are there already to explore and enjoy 🌳 And then beginning to plant new ones to cultivate and nurture to grow together over the next 5 weeks and beyond 🌻 Stay open, stay curious ( and stay hydrated) . . . . 📷@powerofspeech #inspiredbynature #growingideas #startupnature #staycurious #ecocoach #greenbusiness #businessforgood #liveyourvalues #alwayslearning #beautifulminds #changemakers #ecodesigner #selfgrowthjourney Off for work trip / journey coaching sustainable design & business and going to miss this wonderful, supportive, loving, adventures in nature ( and food and wine) and life, sidekick 💙😎🏕😘 . Hopefully the sun will still be shining when I’m back ☀️ . . . . . #ecoadventures #sunandfun☀️ #loveoutdoors #digitalnomads #ecodesigner #businessforgood #liveyourvalues Friday sunshine vibes all round! ☀️ Huge thanks to the inspiring team @pineapplesbp last night for a lovely evening bringing sustainability change makers together, talking all things social and environmental business and SDGs. 🌎 Lovely to be thanked for supporting & recognised for being a little piece in their journey so far. Looking forward to more positive interactions!🍍 . Also check out @youradventurepass from Nic who is passionate about bringing the love of sports and adventure to a wider diversity of children for a lifetime of healthy inspiration! 🧗‍♀️ . Who else loves these pineapple air plants from @goodsmithshop ? Definitely bringing the tropical holiday vibes 🍍 . Right I’m off to study a bit for a wee online exam on graphics.... and then the weekend might start early.... . Have a lovely day folks x . . . . #pineapple🍍 #sustainablebusiness #bcorps #sdgs #airplants #ecodesign #socialenterprise #businessforgood #changemakers #sustainableliving #ecordguk #rdguk #rdgukbusiness #adventurepass #fridayvibes
