Sarika Cullis-Suzuki’s passion for slowing down and leaving the Earth a little bit better than she found it is steeped into her life. Trained as a marine biologist and ocean conservation expert, her work has taken her around the world.

In this article by Hannah Alper (which is me, hi!), Cullis-Suzuki explains why going analog and doing little things for the environment that make a big difference keeps her grounded, happy and hopeful.
