What motivates you to get out of bed in the mornings?
The cup of hot coffee my husband brings me.
What would you like to see change in your lifetime?
I would like to see restored balance in our relationship with nature on a
global level - and a sense of dignity, respect and pride within our
communities that fosters democracy, peace and a better quality of life.
Why should we care about Bermuda's development?
Bermuda's quality of life is tremendous, but totally reliant upon the
Island's natural resources. Short-sighted planning and actions will deny our
children the way of life we have known; innovative, sustainable decisions
will foster health and prosperity.
