Who are you and what are you most passionate about ?
My name is Harry, and I absolutely love the ocean. It is my go-to playground for physical rejuvenation, mental recalibration, and connecting with Nature. I am passionate about protecting our oceans from unnecessary single-use plastics so that all beings can continue to enjoy, live, and learn from our oceans.
What inspires you most?
Education and adventure. I personally enjoy the constant pursuit of bettering myself in all aspects, and using this to improve the world around me. To grow one must conquer their fears, and adventure is my favourite medium for this!

Yvonne Chouinard - Patagonia founder. His perspective on flat business structure, anti-consumerism, and enjoying life spontaneously is something that inspires me immensely. Yvonne and Patagonia has highlighted to me that you can run a very successful and impactful business by thinking long-term, considering people, and having a strong ethos.

Whats you're favourite part about team sol
I love knowing every day I get to work I’ll be asked "How's your morning been so far?" before "Have you read my email yet?". As simple as that is, it's the little things!
Thanks, Team Sol – keep shining bright!
What is your biggest achievement this year?
Making and taking my lunch to work every day for a month!
Who are you and what are you most passionate about ?
My name is Carla and I am your #solmate for all things SoL in the UK and Europe.
I am most passionate about living my most vibrant life in a way that supports biodiversity and the needs of all other living creatures we share our planet with. I get abnormally excited with the opening of plastic free stores and farmers markets …. they provide community and make it easy and fun to reduce our ecological footprint.
What inspires you most?
Nature. It’s incredible diversity in expression, the way it has evolved over millions of years, constantly reinventing itself to adapt to changed surroundings. I am particularly awed by the way a giant tree grows from a tiny seed…I know science can explain it all, but the wonder of it still makes me feel like its magic and anything is possible.
Who inspires you most?
If its not too cheesy, I want to say Rebecca Veksler, who founded SoL whilst suffering an automimmune disease at the age of 23. She found a gap in the market and created a beautiful 100% plastic free reusable cup that not only helps consumers save the planet from unnecessary disposable plastic waste, but makes it enjoyable and tasteful to do so. She has provided a solution to a huge throw-away waste problem that I care so much about and I am very grateful to be working alongside such a powerful woman on this mission.
What’s you’re favourite part about team SoL
We are an extremely driven, young hearted, can-do team who absolutely love the products we are working to spread to the world…and we have fun while doing it.
What is your biggest achievement this year?
Moving across the planet - from my hometown beach lifestyle in Bondi, Australia to my new abode in bustling London. I can’t say it was an incredibly difficult transition- I had a home to move into with my boyfriend, have an amazing job I absolutely love and am so proud of, and a supportive group of friends… but smooth sailing surely should still be celebrated as an achievement right?
Now, we do have a few more team members, those who weren't able to answer these questions or didn't feel as comfortable with being posted about, but they are equally LOVED and appreciated, and we wouldn't be able to do what we do everyday with out them!Rebecca Veksler.
