"As an enviromentalist working for DHL Group, I have been questioned by my family and friends. When I explain what we are doing in trying to achieve zero emissions, they are impressed. I explain our tree planting project and here in Ireland we have planted 250 trees as part of a Zero waste community garden, which I am immensely proud of. I will never stand in the shade of these trees but a future generation will because of DHL."
