Brand Tas

"Coming back as a single woman to my place of birth, Tasmania gave me a massive opportunity to follow my dreams. I needed to prove a lot of things to myself. I’m so grateful that I’ve been able to do that here."

"The one source of emissions in Tasmania that keeps going up is transportation emissions. In this transition to electric, we’re a long way behind."

"I started hearing about hempcrete buildings, and looking into environmental building products and carbon sequestration. Hemp does so many things that are great, you almost can’t believe it.”

"When I started my job, I wouldn't say that I knew Tasmania was a renewable energy generator. But as I continued to grow in my career, renewable energy and decarbonisation of the economy is one of the key reasons why I'm still there."

"I think that’s what really makes the festival; that Tasmanian attitude, the Tassie hospitality. You might not even speak the same language, but we all have the same love and enthusiasm for wooden boats and hard work. It’s the language of wooden boat people."
