Olivia thinks people need a greater understanding of environmental problems

Olivia wants world leaders to understand how the world’s economic system is harming the environment.

“I think a lot of people don’t know that ecological breakdown isn’t just about recycling and switching lights off.

“They’re there having a knees up in an expensive hotel which doesn’t make any sense if they’re trying to save the world’s money.”

“I’d probably go out by myself and meet the people of Switzerland.”
