Extraordinary humans, like David Attenborough, make so much difference to our lives because of the way they help us to see the world.Attenborough's recent work with Blue Planet is changing the lives of millions, including Queens, Prime Minsters, businesses, you and me.Attenborough has extraordinary power in media, but there are many others, inventing new products, ways of living, starting blogs, helping friends and standing up for what they believe in their own little corner of the world. We have literally thousands of these people on ekko.world, but we also come across them online and many aren't even in business. Here is a few of our favs - and we invite you to share yours and we'll add them. Make sure you come back and see who's here.The heartfelt generosity & spirit of wives Marnie & Lauren from The Better Human Project inspired the name of this article. They are a couple simply working their way through the actuality and emotionalism of being better (eco) humans. I really hope they keep writing and sharing their story because there is real value in honest blogs that aren't promoting a side agenda like a product and who deal with every day issues, conflicts and decisions. Their blog does it kindly, with compassion and persistence. Facebook Groups grow both the most fascinating bunches of people with shared interests as well as exposing whole ways of living that wouldn't otherwise be understood. One of my favourites is Melbourne Freegan Co-op which (to quote) exists to support the Melbourne community's interest in food waste, and as an avenue to explore Freeganism further. The group focuses on dumpster diving, foraging, food sharing, freegan (food) events & preserving. You must not ask for money for anything, in any way, shape or form. The Admin guy is Luke Farrugia, who I swear is so even handed and reasonable that he makes dumpster diving sound going to the hairdresser and equally as reasonable thing to do.Debbie Parsons is an accidental farmers advocate. She left Melbourne for a hobby farm near Geelong 10 years ago to help her husband build an orchid business, but quickly got involved in rescued produce. She now runs an entire business, Magic Meadow Produce, handling oversized & undersized produce, therefore giving the farmer the opportunity to sell produce at a premium price. Debbie also collects and distributes food and clothes for farmers in need, as well as doing hay runs. Tracey from Biome made a decision in 2003 that she was going to stop being fed a diet of green washed marketing and to not only take control of her own life, but to make a difference in the world. Today, her growing empire of on and offline locations offers a safe place for consumers to access clean, safe, zero harm products. Biome also actively publish content and spread the word to help our communities live with less waste, less toxins and less impact. Tracey recently had Biome join forces with Terracycle to collect other business' shampoo bottles and plastics and send it to Terracycle.Adrian Lawson is the kind of guy you want to take home to Mum. Partly because he's such a decent bloke and partly because she might finally replace her venetians because he will recycle them. Adrian Lawson Design makes a series of unique light pendants out of recycled venetian blinds. (If you live in Sydney and have timber venetians you'd like to recycle, check the link and contact Adrian if there is a materials match.)Adrian previously designed and made furniture in Scotland and even exhibited in London. He grew up recycling and upcycling on the Isle of Colonsay in Scotland and when he immigrated to Australia in 2009 and settled in Sydney, he chose to take his self-taught design into the direction of recycling after taking inspiration from discarded wooden blinds in his local area.
