A grower and community event facilitator born and raised in Hong Kong, now based in Kingston. Studied BA Anthropology in CUHK and MSc Environment, Politics and Society in UCL, she focuses on applying green education and environmental justice in her social venture, Vegecoopia.
Vegecoopia was established in April 2023, a day after The International Day of Peasant Struggles. The name Vegecoopia is about growing Vegetables in a Cooperative way to create a Utopia 🙂 “DAS” also the point of our existence – to create spaces (physical, social and mental) for people to grow food together, with #Dignity, #Autonomy, and #Sovereignty.
One Step
Check out oneStep’s simple and easy to use essentials, carefully sourced to eco your life. OneStep products are just what you need in your bathroom, in your kitchen, on the go or to clean your home the natural way.
oneStep everyday eco essentials are no fuss no harm. We have picked for you the greenest, most efficient and locally available solutions to help you reduce your carbon footprint, one step at a time.
oneStep was born from the belief that it doesn’t take a sea change to achieve results and that, one step at a time, we can and will save our planet. oneStep believes in the superpower each one of us has in pushing positive change simply by consuming less, more carefully, and sharing what we learn.
behind oneStep …
… is Gwen with the support of her infinitely patient family: Rob, Amy, Laura, Louis, and Kris, who have listened, hinted, tested, created, said yes, no, maybe, absolutely, surely not, time for a break! And many friends, too, who encourage, make suggestions and occasionally even wear the green apron. Gwen, as a girl, was more eco than most, her father worked for the French National Energy Saving Agency, and did she know it!: short showers are better than baths // it’s not cold … just put a jumper on! // melon season starts next week, yay! …. Her sister Domi knew it too, so much so that she went on to create a blog, http://www.jefaismatransition.com, talking passionately about all the little things we can change in our daily lives to slow, or even reverse, the damage we now know we have caused. Gwen’s attempts to follow Domi’s blog from London were not made easy by the very few eco alternatives out here … and then oneStep came along!

Hi and welcome to Sage’s Health Store. I thought I’d take this opportunity to introduce myself and tell you a little about my story.
I’m Sage; I’m a qualified pharmacist with over 20 years of experience in the industry and have a passion for natural health and wellbeing.
Back in 2003 I bought an independent pharmacy in Covent Garden. It was here that I hired a herbalist/naturopath and introduced food intolerance testing, reiki, reflexology and homeopathy.
I now believe strongly that good health comes from both what we put in and, also importantly, on our bodies.
Within five years I’d replaced my entire stock with natural products: think shampoos, body washes, skincare, makeup and even dental floss! I also started recommending natural alternatives for health care instead of conventional medicines.
In 2017 I decided I wanted to do something closer to home to follow my passion: I’ve lived in Surbiton all my life and absolutely love the area, so I knew that this would be the dream location for a new business.
