I’d like to share these 12 feminist business principles which I wholeheartedly subscribe to and which I think are an important key to emerging out of the mess humanity is currently in. They were put together by Jennifer Armbrust, founder of organisation Sister that teaches about the feminine economy. Running a company for the past …
This kind of started while I was at The Mill in Birkirkara earlier today, enjoying the last hour of Maxine C Attard‘s excellent In Between Obliterations. Talk turned to feelings of helplessness in actually making some kind of change within the situations we find unacceptable around us. For me this means things like the current …
Some coping strategies for a very confused Malta Never have I felt a bigger need to ‘do something’, than in these last few weeks since the horrible assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia. I’ve been struggling quite heavily with the state of the country for the last few months, frustrated particularly with our national fear of …
This morning I came across this article from two years ago (don’t ask my why the photo is there, perhaps Valletta’s face is changing so much it’s now not Valletta anymore). It speaks of rents driving out people who can actually afford to live here, the loss of hawkers and small shops that make the …

Here are a few amazing quotes, watch the full …
My experience working on waste (or rather resources) management at Earth Garden 2015. I guess you could say it all started last year when I was absolutely horrified at the post-Earth Garden (a 3-day festival in Malta) photos showing overflowing bins and rubbish all over the Ta’ Qali National Park. Appalled, I posted a rant …
My favourite story coming out of Sustainable Brands London (a conference where big brands talk about their sustainability initiatives, network and learn from sustainability experts) was definitely Aly Khalifa and Lyf Shoes’ as it managed to combine several of my favourite things: shoes, sustainability and localisation together with an unlikely hero.
