From supastar to zero waste shop owner.

I'm not sure where to post this, but it seemed to me an interesting story to go in the green thread. You could say it's about a millionaire ex-footballer who probably had a lifestyle as far away from being green as you could imagine, to him owning a zero waste food shop.

Former right-back Richard Eckersley, now 28, made his professional debut at the 'Theatre of Dreams' less than nine years ago, but is now running the UK's first zero waste food shop in the quaint Devon town of Totnes.
I suppose he'd say, he saw the light.
