I'm an admirer of Greenpeace's bravery and passion, and supporter since 1971. I studied Marine Biology and worked in Human Genetics research at Queen Mary University before working in the pharma and medical industries. I’ve been a beekeeper for many years. I set up and ran an Aylesbury Greenpeace group in the 90s. I have personally witnessed significant damage to our environment and aim through presentations to encourage serious debate and urgent action whilst offering positive solutions.
