On this episode of Humans of Chelmsford we meet ecopreneur and Anglia Ruskin University student Sarah Clark.


Prior to 2016 Sarah was living her life just like anyone would, working and going month to month paying bills.


However - in a similar vein to how the recent documentary Blue Planet II was received - one day in 2016 Sarah sat down to watch Before the Flood, fronted by actor Leonardo DiCaprio.


That documentary had a huge personal effect on Sarah as it charted the crisis of climate change and what was happening in the world.


She then started the journey that has led her to becoming Sustainable Sarah as well as her decision to stand for a seat at Chelmsford City Council in the upcoming elections in May.


But at the heart of the battle is her children - the most important thing in her life.


Everything she does, whether it is spreading awareness or changing her own life, is all down to her children and giving them a future on this planet.


Listen to Sarah’s story above. Humans of Chelmsford is available on iTunes, Spotify, Acast, Stitcher, Player FM and on our website.
