I first met Faith Johnson some 12 years ago and was blown away by her passion, dedication & sheer blast of fresh air she brought into a room. Faith is the MD of the Environmental Quality Mark CIC, based in the Peak District but now starting a new journey across the UK - a very special organisation that allows small and micro businesses to pause long enough to understand their magic, how far they've come and what their place will be in creating a net zero world. A longer episode than usual (we couldn't stop talking!), this episode is a fascinating insight into the power of micros to impact our race to a more sustainable world, via allotments, chickens & working in your own rhythm.
