We know that everyone's work schedule is busy, and taking some time out of the office might feel daunting (where can you claw that time back from, right?), but attending a Yorkshire Sustainability event is not something that you will regret. It will be time well spent learning, collaborating and interacting with industry leaders, sustainability pioneers and more.

πŸ“ˆ 🌱 Your network is your net worth, and that net worth can be a whole lot greener too.

What we're trying to say it, it's worth clearing your diary for! πŸ™Œ

Secure your tickets before the weekend and we will see you there!

We're delighted to have pam warhurst, Co-Founder and Chair of Incredible Edible C.I.C., back with us again this year 🌱 🍎

Our founder Kate Hutchinson, tells everyone she meets about Pam's TED Talk, and we just love how passionate and influential she is in the sustainability community.

Pam has been an activist for over 40 years and is now involved in local politics supporting and amplifying the work of groups around the UK. She started off "propaganda gardening" in which she has essentially rekindled unloved areas in Yorkshire and sparked love and joy into communities by planting herbs and fruit trees which offer free food to residents. 🌳

She is currently developing the impact work of Incredible Edible through the proposition of a New Social Contract to transform the frameworks of our lives so that all people can live well and live long. Pam also works as part of a global network of social entrepreneurs, as an Ashoka Fellow.

πŸ’« Pam and Incredible Edible will be involved in a whole host of talks and workshops at Yorkshire Sustainability Festival, so get your ticket now and look forward to meeting with her this summer.
