It all began with my master's thesis in Energy and Environmental Engineering: I took the used cooking oil from two canteens on campus, and used it as base for liquid soap production.

I founded Project I Do, an environmental project to encourage people to value this type of waste, that could be used as the raw material for household cleaning soap production.

It saves and preserves natural resources, and creates a local level circular economy of used cooking oil, enganging the local stakeholders.

Project I Do is about doing something: I, as the initial point for any environmental action.

Project I Do is about commitment: I Do! I do have the responsibility to contribute to change something.

"I am an enthusiast researcher with the obsession for recycling, permaculture, renewable energy and of course, eco soap-making. I love the idea of used oil for soap making as a way to reduce waste and environment damaging. I proudly enrolled as the first JooSoap Ambassador in South America.

My project for my year-long trip is to visit and stay in ecocommunities / ecovillages around South America, involve myself in a sustainable life in harmony with nature, and teach how to recycle used oils/fats to make eco soaps. To the adventure .....!!!!"
