Tolmeia Gregory
Tolmeia Gregory (also known as Tolly) is an environmental activist who started her activism journey after educating herself about the negative impacts of the fashion industry. Tolly grew up wanting to be a fashion designer but has now dedicated her time to raising awareness of climate-related issues, using the online platform she started in 2012 to engage her audience in a fun and relatable way.
Her blog started as a summer project to combine her love of all things digital and fashion but has since become a space for speaking openly and honestly about topics such as eco-anxiety, hopelessness in the face of a global crisis and ways to inspire others to join the movement. As Tolly's sustainable knowledge initially stemmed from the fashion industry, she offers advice on how to shift your mindset from consumption to making do.
Tolly is also a part of Extinction Rebellion where she works as a local coordinator, as well as contributing on a global scale with her work in graphic design and animation. Using art as a tool is a big part of Tolly's work; she's the creator of many of the eco-themed GIF stickers that are found on Instagram Stories and Snapchat, amassing over 7.5 billion views on GIPHY.

Outside of this, Tori is active on social media and uses her presence online to talk about her work and pressing climate-related issues. She believes in a multifaceted approach to activism through virtual and offline means, and hopes to champion intersectional climate justice through her work.
Nick Moore
Born in 1968, Nick grew up in Sussex and Dorset. He gained a degree in agriculture and business management from the University of London before completing a postgrad training in journalism. After stints as a business journalist, PR executive, agricultural college lecturer, stable-hand, marketing person and corporate trainer, Nick became a freelance copywriter in 1999, which means he hasn’t had a ;proper job’ or regular pay-cheque this century. As well as providing copy, strategy, creative concepts and research for leading companies and brands, he’s the author for Mindful Thoughts for Cyclists (Leaping Hare, 2017) and an occasional poetry blogger.
Nick grew up in the 1970s, when the bike was simply everyday transport. Like most of his generation, he quit cycling as soon as he was old enough to drive, but rediscovered it in his mid-20s and has never looked back. As a first-generation MAMIL, he dedicated years to going further and faster, until a growing sense that cycling was no longer fun, coupled with being diagnosed with osteoarthritis, propelled him out of the ‘arms race’ and into a more mindful way of cycling, and living. He now enjoys riding simple bikes at a leisurely pace, but remains committed to going out five or six days a week, whatever the weather.
He lives in East Sussex with his wife and daughter, one neurotic whippet and far too many bicycles.
