In 2015, Gittemarie Johansen replaced fashion week, impulse buying, big steaks, and package holidays with a sustainable and plastic-free lifestyle. Since then, she has made a living by passing on sustainable tips and principles to people of all ages in both her home country and overseas. Gittemarie’s passion for sustainability is built on her own experiences, not as an expert of commutation, but as an average consumer herself. This is her very first book.
