A WOMAN ON A MISSION: RECONNECTING PEOPLE WITH NATURE. WITH GO FOREST, SARAH OFFERS COMPANIES AND INDIVIDUALS A WAY TO CONTRIBUTE TO NATURE RESTORATION, BY PLANTING TREES WITH A LONG-TERM IMPACT. SHE COMBINES DECISIVENESS WITH A HOLISTIC VISION OF BOTH ECOLOGICAL AND SOCIAL WELL-BEING, BELIEVING NOT IN EXTREMES BUT IN THE ART OF THE FEASIBLE. HER INNER COMPASS SAYS ‘IMPACT OVER IDEALISM’, WITH WHICH SHE TIRELESSLY PURSUES THE MIDDLE GROUND.

‘SOCIETY EXPECTS SO MUCH FROM US. BY CONSTANTLY BEING CONFRONTED WITH WHAT WE DON'T HAVE YET AND COMPARING OURSELVES TO OTHERS, WE LIVE IN TURMOIL. I HAVE LIVED AT 500 KM/H FOR FAR TOO LONG, BUT I HAVE SINCE LEARNED TO SLOW DOWN.’

‘I LOVE FASHION, BUT EXTREME FAST-FASHION BRANDS ARE ON MY BLACKLIST. I PREFER TO INVEST IN A FEW QUALITY, TIMELESS PIECES THAT I CAN WEAR FOR YEARS - BUY LESS BUT BUY BETTER. IF I DON'T WEAR SOMETHING FOR A LONG TIME, I EITHER TRY TO COMBINE IT DIFFERENTLY, SELL IT OR DONATE IT.’
