    I’m Yasmin Mills an eco-event organiser, founder of Ecofetes and sustainability advocate who feels that the only way we are going to make real positive environmental progress is by focusing on what we can do, rather than what we can’t. With my new podcast ‘Shades Of Green’ I want to demystify sustainability by talking to a range of interesting high profile guests about how we can realistically try to be greener in all areas of life, from travel & fashion to take-aways & pets! I firmly believe that even the smallest personal gestures, contribute to big change. I want to show you that people of all ages, ethnicities & genders are in this together and that we are all still learning how we can be more sustainable in our day to day lives.So join me and listen to Shades Of Green, which I hope will encourage you to want to make some of the positive green changes we need to be kinder to the planet & people on it.
