Niomi Smart is a content creator, author of Eat Smart: What I Eat In A Day, an extension of her popular YouTube series, and co-founder of SourcedBox – a healthy, natural snack subscription. Here Niomi shares the story of her sustainability journey so far.
A learning process
My interest in sustainability has been a slow process over the years as I have become more and more aware of the importance of protecting our planet, and learning ways in which we can help and do our bit. There have of course been many serious conversations around the world about the increasing rate of climate change and the damaging effects, so on a personal level it would’ve been impossible for me to ignore this, especially when I am in a position to share these stories with millions of people. I am conscious that we are all still learning and I am doing my best to take my audience on this journey with me, so they can be educated as I am, through mediums that they know, respect and trust.
Social media for social good
My content online has always been a true representation of my personal passions and interests, so naturally as I have become more aware of our responsibilities to protect the planet, my content has also adapted and changed to reflect this. I see my platforms online as an invaluable opportunity to spread these messages, and share what I am learning along the way of this journey into sustainability. We are all responsible for doing our bit and making the small changes that together can make a huge difference.
