Chris Saltmarsh is a climate and social justice campaigner. He manages Fossil Free campaigns at People & Planet and writes about climate politics and social movements.
Hannah Short lives in London and works for SOAS Students’ Union. She is interested in most things environment-related, and spends her time campaigning, cycling and trying to make the best of things.
