GRESË SERMAXHAJ

'When  Phoebe asked me to join Girl Planet Earth Voices, at first I was  reluctant, since I thought I don’t have one major success story on how I  fought overconsumption or how I saved nature and our planet. Then, it  occurred to me that indeed, neither I, nor we, do not have to do it all  by ourselves. I live my life every day, as intentionally as I can,  making it as meaningful as I can - by choosing minimalism, fighting  overconsumption and protecting our nature. Every morning I wake up at my  own pace and make favorable choices for sustainability, economic health  and well-being.

I  am fulfilled knowing that there are many women out there just like me…  doing everything in our paces and then together joining the global  discussion for these challenges affecting women.'
