Why: Gilly Seagrave is a non-stop continent-hopping mad crazy cool ball of ethical energy! Not only is she a competitive snowboarder, but she runs snowboarding events and camps for girls as well as her ekashops, featuring organic, sustainable, vegan, fair-trade knits...I'm out of breath just typing that all! She deeply cares about the details of her work, making sure that what she produces is ethically made and beautifully fashioned. Her energy and enthusiasm are a joy to behold and her integrity is a model for us all to follow.
