Overview
About Me
Salut :) Alors comment commencer? Et bien j'ai bossé comme ingénieur pendant 8 ans sur Montpellier, pour de grands groupes pour qui le mot éthique n'avais pas trop de sens (et pourtant c'était pour faire du renouvelable). Alors j'ai tout plaqué pour aller faire du wwoofing pendant 2 ans en Amerique du Sud. Depuis je suis installé dans les montagnes cévenoles, où je jongle entre un potager en permaculture pour viser l'autonomie alimentaire, et un nouveau métier d'éduc spé dans un centre qui accueille de jeunes migrants.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Just before I quit my job, we had a project in Burkina Faso, to install solar panels, with European Union subventions. In the technical specifications they wanted to cut baobab trees (which are sacred trees for native people there) and treat the roots with glyphosate (a very dangerous and carcinogenic product). I managed to explain that it was a non sense, and no company (mine of any else) could do that things.
