Worthly of a mention - Anita Roddick

littlemisssparkle

Although this is no doubt the wrong section to post this - I feel us money saving experts should pay respect to Anita Roddick 'the environment saving expert' who died today.


Shocking news but worthly of a mention. Let her principles continue after her death.

Totally not free - but if you feel like a small donation, I am sure it will go to good use. The Hepatitis C Trust:

I was both sad and shocked when I heard the news. My sympathies are with her family. She was both an inspiration to businesswomen trying to break through the 'glass ceiling' at work, and also for her ethical business ideas, and courageous in how she faced what she knew what was to come with her illness.

I worked for the body shop when i left school and found her a truly inspirational. What a sad loss to the family and all who admired her work.

Big heart, big ideas, big legend, great woman who affected all our lives even though most never knew. Sad loss.

Thanks for starting this thread OP; Anita Roddick was an inspiration and will be much missed.

Thanks OP,

Anita Roddick should be remembered and respected for her work. Let's not forget:

* She was into recycling those little plastic bottles before we were even thinking of that kind of thing.
* She was against animal testing when the only other option was Beauty without Cruelty.
* She showed that women could be business leaders.
* She showed that you can be in business without shafting the developing world.
* She co-founded the Big Issue.
* She helped micro-businesses in the developing world.

Losing Anita Roddick and Jane Tomlinson so close together really sucks.
