Last week, Isabel Losada shared her thoughts on living sustainably at St Mark’s Church in Wimbledon. The author of The Joyful Environmentalist spoke to an engaged audience, hosted by Juliet Boyd from Wimbledon Green Churches.
Isabel is not just an author; she’s also a comedienne and passionate environmentalist. She explores practical ways to make our daily lives greener—from how we bank to what we eat.
She believes that the small steps we take for the planet also bring joy to our lives. Her talk was filled with inspiring ideas, encouraging everyone to think about simple actions they can adopt.
Isabel expressed appreciation for the audience’s knowledge, noting their awareness of ethical banking and sustainable practices. She said, “I found the Wimbledon Green Churches Group to be very well-informed about everything from slow travel to planting for biodiversity.” She highlighted how they even recognized energy suppliers that are genuinely committed to sustainability versus those that merely “greenwash” their practices.
It’s inspiring to see community groups like this taking the lead. Studies show that community-driven initiatives can significantly impact local environmental practices. A recent survey revealed that about 66% of people feel more motivated to adopt sustainable lifestyle changes when engaged with a supportive group. This suggests that gatherings like Isabel’s can spark broader changes in behavior.
Isabel’s upcoming appearance at the Hay Festival in Wales will provide her with yet another platform to share her insights. As more people recognize the importance of sustainable living, events like these continue to promote important conversations around environmental responsibility.
