I currently have over 101,000 signatures and have presented a motion in the Spanish Senate, which will be voted on this fall.

Communication is key if we want to make the message of sustainability attractive and accessible.

I have an online platform (prettygreenlily.com) where I raise awareness about sustainable fashion and sustainable lifestyle alternatives and talk about the science and facts behind sustainability in fashion.

I believe that there is strength in numbers and that simple changes in our individual lifestyles can build up to meaningful systemic change – a change that starts with knowledge and awareness.

Beside my PhD in Environmental and Energy Engineering and my role in the city Council, I commit on a daily basis to making lower impact choices. But I am not convinced that we will be able to fight the climate crisis if we leave the responsibility to the goodwill of virtuous citizens. Only by turning the crisis into an opportunity to improve the quality of life of people, can we hope to suceed. I believe we need to be ambitious, practical, concrete, coherent, and to use a science based approach.
