From Blues to Blue Health

Through a select panel that includes figures from a variety of areas, one thing is shared. Their love of nature. From green spaces to blue, nature is wondrous, especially when related to subjects like mental health and culture. Nature not only frees the mind, but brings people together. With many barriers apparent throughout society, such as socio-economic backgrounds and race, all-inclusive platforms should be more active than ever.  Journalist Lucy Siegle led this panel discussion on our Campfire Stage (sponsored by Hydro Flask) at the Blue Earth Summit 2021 Lucy is joined by: Claire Eatock - Project manager for the seas, oceans and public health in europe project at the university of Exeter  Tom Hewitt - Founder & CEO of ‘Surfers Not Street Children’ Nick Hounsfield - Chief Visionary Officer for inland surfing destination The Wave Hannah Green - Surfer and author of ‘My Journey Home’ Laura Crane - Ex-pro surfer, model and former Love Island Contestant *** The Blue Earth Summit is a movement and community driving positive action for our natural world.  In October 2021, we brought together over 800 changemakers, business leaders, content creators and activists for our inaugural Blue Earth Summit event in Bristol.
