Heroes of tomorrow EPEA Switzerland

Today with EPEA Switzerland we bring you the latest episode of the second series of Heroes of Tomorrow. We are digitally travelling to Washington DC to meet Elise Amez-Droz.
Elise AmezDroz asks us:
“How can we not only be neutral but also contribute with something positive?”
There is a common energy that moves the people who discover the cradle to cradle methodology in their paths. It is something that goes with them all their life, no matter what sector they work in.
We hope that our guest's statement will motivate you to be part of the change our society needs.
We all together can remake the way we make things.

Today we have the pleasure to introduce you to Peter Bachmann. He works in the building industry in Germany since more than 20 years. His wife calls him sentinel because of his high sensitivity and ability to detect chemicals.
Are you sensitive to smells? Does the smell of petrol, paint, solvents, inks, pesticides, perfumes or cleaning products suffocate you? Do you have allergies?  If the answer is yes, perhaps you share the same sensitivity as our guest. Listen to his statement to better understand the close relationship between the construction industry and our health.
