Harriet Pleming
Land Owner & Parish Councillor

Harriet was an investigative journalist for BBC Watchdog, where she gained a healthy distrust of large corporations and helped to embarrass companies into refunding customers. Working as a journalist taught her to question “facts” and research “claims”.

When she had her daughter 11 years ago, she became acutely aware of global warming. She now applies her holistic thinking and examinations to curing man-made problems in our natural environment. She spends her days plotting ways to reduce the effects of climate change and has a small library on the subject.

She wants to sequester carbon, and believes healing the soil is a huge part of this. She owns farmland in Wales. Acres of artificially fertilised and over harvested pasture that for years had been cut for silage, used to feed animals that lived indoors and consequently starved the land of organic matter which feeds the soil. Her aim is to increase biodiversity, soil health, water infiltration and investigate the best ways to do this. She is at the beginning of this journey.

Dan Tipney
Head of Culture, Patient Safety and Human Factors, The Ralph

Dan is a passionate environmentalist and a father who cares deeply about the planet that the future generations depend upon, humans and non-humans alike. A former airline pilot, Dan stopped flying altogether due to a desire to live in a way that is consistent with what he believes is required to prevent climate and ecological collapse. His professional role now involves working with healthcare and veterinary teams with non-clinical training and support. A significant element within this role involves supporting practices and hospitals in terms of establishing and maintaining a culture that is consistent with their values, something which he passionately believes is at the heart of reaching potential as an organisation.
