On their blog this week the Daisy Green girls announced their Top 10 green gods ("The men making ethics sexy")! I thought their choices were pretty interesting - although some of the top ten may well rightly deserve their place, the 'God' factor did seem to be a bit more 'Hollywood' than 'green'. It's great that celebrities can use their media draw to publicise environmental destruction and ways we can be more eco-friendly, but we should also celebrate the hard-working heroes on our doorsteps.
So I would like to nominate Oliver Heath as the 11th Green God. He's played a crucial part in bringing sustainable design into the mainstream through his TV work, has acted as a media spokesperson for both the Waste and Resources Action Programme and the Energy Saving Trust, and has written for the Observer and Friends of the Earth, Earth Matters magazine. By putting environmental thought into his design and architecture work he has helped emerging eco-friendly businesses, and even co-founded one of his own - EcoCentric!
An inspiration to us all, and in my opinion, well deserving of a place on the list.
Who would you nominate?
