National councillor and former mayor of Carouge, Nicolas began his Zero Waste approach after crossing paths with Béa Johnson and Jérémie Pichon, and above all with the Zero Waste team in Geneva, who made his commune the first “Zero Waste” city. The enthusiasm of the people of Carouge convinced him that ZeroWaste Switzerland represented THE solution to accompany the population towards sustainability. Having tested several of ZeroWaste Switzerland’s recommendations for himself, it was only natural for him to commit to this approach to happy sobriety.

Deeply concerned by ecology, she discovered Zero Waste as a way of taking concrete action to reduce one’s environmental impact, but also of making one’s purchases (or refusals to buy) a militant act in an attempt to change society as a whole. Trained as an agri-food engineer, she has worked in several different trades. She is also concerned about men and women, and is interested in management methods that are more fulfilling for individuals, such as holacracy, which she has trained in.
