I’m sustainable

I walk a lot in nature with my two dogs, I usually buy local food, and I mainly eat a plant-based diet. I support a lot of green entrepreneurs and local food producers in Lebanon. I recycle and, try to reduce my consumption, and donate things I no longer use.  

The future I want

I envision a future where people in the MENA region have the capacity and space to engage meaningfully with sustainability – no longer consumed by the daily burdens of violence, economic hardship, and systemic injustice. I especially imagine children growing up with a deep understanding of sustainability, where caring for the environment and their communities is second nature, seamlessly woven into their everyday lives.
