“HERSTORY”
“You have to act as if it were possible
to radically transform the world.
And you have to do it all the time.”
~ Angela Davis
Leslie Sheridan,
Founder: “Herstory”
There’s a lot of talk about climate change,
yet not a lot of “walk” by governments,
countries, companies, and individuals!
Some things are being done, but they’re not
large enough to address our global climate
crisis and put some serious brakes on it.
Some things are too difficult for some folks
to do, and forcing them won’t work. How do
you get them to take an easy step which
benefits them and the planet? This nagged
Leslie for two years, until one day, Planet Cents
was born in a moment of divine inspiration.
Leslie’s “Eureka” Moment
Leslie did not start with “Let’s start a
sustainable marketplace!” (Hardly, as
she is not a big consumer and loves thrift
shops!). She began with: How do we get
as many people and organizations to come
together to reverse climate change?
The answer: shopping is something
that almost everyone does. If we just ask
people to shop sustainably, it’s not too
much to get a habitable planet for current
and future generations. Best deal ever!
Our Mission!
Why is Leslie driven to
reverse climate change ASAP?
Human lives and livelihoods are at stake,
and all current and future living beings
deserve a healthy, habitable planet.
In 2017, there were 68.5 MILLION global climate
refugees and the World Bank projects that in
three of the most vulnerable regions 143
MILLION people could be displaced by 2050.
This breaks Leslie’s heart, and she feels that
climate talk without climate walk is mass genocide.
