Vicki Pite

Environment matters Column

Vicki Pite is a science teacher and adviser. After reading the Brandt report: North South, A Question Of Survival about sustainable global development in the 1980s, she has tried to think globally while acting locally. As a local authority officer she managed an environmental centre, worked alongside schools in developing their grounds and their recycling policies, and ran some of the first ever young people’s conferences and parliaments about the environment. A veteran cyclist, Vicki hung up her pedals because she feels too many London drivers are inconsiderate of cyclists and cycle lanes don’t help. She now walks, uses London transport and drives a tiny car. Although she admits her gardening owes more to enthusiasm than skill, she has an Enfield In Bloom Award for her front garden allotment. She also raises funds for Unicef.
