Claudia went on to set up a website called ‘Let’s Talk 1%’ to try and create awareness of the little things that you can change.
She says:
‘In my mind, if you don’t know about the changes you can make, or it seems like a really foreign concept, then you’re not going to make those little changes…if people are unsure and feel like they don’t even know where to start, then they’ll turn their back and carry on doing what they’re doing.’
Claudia is leading by example and showing her fans and followers (and hopefully teammates) that if we all make small changes to our lives, over a period of time we can make a significant change.
She goes on to say that it is athletes’ responsibility to be asking questions:
‘Is sport sustainable? What changes can we make in the sports industry to help the environment? What can athletes and sports fans do to help?’
