What started as a personal adventure – cycling, walking, and wandering through Europe with a pair of secondhand flea market glasses and a head full of questions – has grown into something bigger: A book full of green stories. A program full of possibilities. And a gentle rebellion against hopelessness. On the road, I met bee-keepers on train tracks, tasted mushrooms grown from coffee waste, and listened to people quietly changing the world – often without anyone noticing. The journey was full of contradictions: solar panels and diesel fumes, zero-waste dreams and plastic picnic forks. My green glasses didn’t hide the problems – but they sharpened my view for the tiny things that do make a difference.And somewhere between wild camping and wondering what’s wrong with the world, a new idea was born: What if others could travel like this too – not just across borders, but into stories that empower, inspire, and restore a sense of agency? That’s how “Green Glasses” became more than a book. It’s now a program for adult learners, a collection of hands-on ideas, real-life projects, and hopeful tales – all designed to be tried, shared, adapted. A growing kit for anyone tired of apathy and eager to plant something better – even if it starts with just one conversation, one garden patch, or one stubbornly reused coffee cup. So yes, the road is bumpy. And yes, the planet ometimes feels like a sitcom without a script. But together, with a little humour and a lot of curiosity, we can write our own chapter of change. Green stories wanted. Self-efficacy encouraged. Hope required.
