Trish’s favourite Quotes
‘We don’t need a handful of people doing zero waste perfectly – we need millions doing it imperfectly – Wastebusters
‘If you assume there is no hope, you guarantee there will be no hope, but if you assume there are opportunities to change things, then there is a possibility you can contribute to making a better world’. Noam Chomsky
‘The moment you definitely commit yourself, is the moment providence happens. All kinds of things occur to help you, which otherwise would not happen. A whole stream of advantageous events flow from your decision. They bring all kinds of chance meetings and material assistance that no one could have foresawn. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic. To make your dream come true – begin.’ Gerta
