The Team
Holly Lennon
Holly Lennon is currently in her second year, studying English at Queen’s University, Belfast.
From growing up observing her father’s waste management business, she became aware of
the excessive amount of recyclable waste that ends up in landfill sites. From this, emanated
her environmental/pragmatic mindset and interest in up-cycling clothing and furniture. Holly
is currently working on video content, combining her passions of travel, sustainable fashion,
and photography.
Lauren Johnson
Lauren Johnson is a Queen’s graduate and freelance content creator based on the north
coast of Northern Ireland. When she’s not writing or editing for print and online publications, you can find her on stage as part of the indie band “Brand New Friend.”
Her experiences of national touring opened her eyes to the levels of waste produced by the music industry and this inspired her to launch the website, along with the other members of the team. Self-proclaimed art and culture obsessive, you can find examples of her work in “Dig With It” magazine, “NewGrad” and her portfolio website
