A tribute - Anita Roddick

Strange coincidences of life!

We just got back from a meeting where we managed to convince and support a leading book seller in India to replace more than 50,000 plastic bags with recycled / newspaper bags from next month onwards.

In an hour or so I am reading this Obituary to Anita, who challenged and convinced many entrepreneurs and enterprises to follow her ideas and principles.It's been tough but fruitful four years for our small organisation in promoting and supporting RT in India, where we constantly engage in debates on sustainability of our initiatives.

I can't help but share with you that it is certainly people like Anita who inspires individuals like us to stand up for what we believe in and continue to work and convince others to follow the similar path.When the going gets tough, stories about people like Anita drives people like us to stay on the path we chose.

Thanks Justin, for this touching tribute. Anita will live through the movement she kick-started. Our prayers are with you!
