Due anni fa, Roz Savage ha lasciato il suo lavoro d'alto livello a Londra per solcare gli oceani in barca a remi. Ha attraversato da sola l'Oceano Atlantico e, proprio questa settimana, prima donna in assoluto, ha iniziato, la terza tratta della traversata in solitaria dell'Oceano Pacifico. Perché lo fa? Ascoltate le sue motivazioni, sia profondamente personali sia legate a un impellente attivismo.

Roz Savage gave up her life as a management consultant to row across the Atlantic in 2005. Her mission now is to row across the Pacific, from the West Coast to Australia, raising awareness along the way of plastic pollution, climate change and eco-heroism. Full bio »
