Better Transport

Experience: I worked as Campaigns Coordinator at CTC, the national cyclists' organisation, for two years, working to reduce the danger posed to cyclists and increase cycling levels. In 2005 I co-founded Plane Stupid, which has been instrumental in getting the media and policy-makers to recognise aviation's contribution to climate change.

Why I work for the Campaign for Better Transport: I was aware that while I was promoting cycling, Government policy was forcing people into cars. This job allows me to do something about that. Time is running out if we're to tackle climate change. Working for Campaign for Better Transport means I can make a genuine impact.
