Clytie has spent much of her life finding ways to incorporate nature into every aspect of her life. Combining a passion and commitment to a fairer and more peaceful world, she uses her creativity to dream about what is possible and works hard to do what she can to achieve that dream. Clytie works in the Waste and Resource Recovery Branch at Brisbane City Council where she has developed a number of programs including Brisbane’s Community Compost hubs program and the Master Composter course, designed not only to reduce waste to landfill but to build community and empower citizens for positive change. Clytie has recently returned from a Churchill Fellowship tour, exploring how governments and community groups work together across towns and cities in the USA, Canada, Mexico and Cuba to support community-based approaches to composting.
