    Gavin Fernie-Jones

    Founder and President, Re-Action & One Tree at a Time

    Co-owner of The Boot Lab, a ski boot-fitting shop in Meribel, Gavin began sending back un-recyclable packaging to his suppliers and questioning the un-sustainability of the current retail model.

    He founded One Tree at a Time as a way of educating and serving the community, reducing waste and keeping ski clothing out of landfill and on the mountain.

    Re-Action is designed to scale up the concept of One Tree so more communities can benefit and more waste can be eliminated.

    Gaia Dakalo

    Craftivism & Community lead

    Gaia is an Italian with a flair for language, creativity and crafting. She holds a masters in English literature, speaks 5 languages and what she doesn’t know about alpacas isn’t worth knowing (just ask her!).

    Gaia discovered her creative powers when she couldn’t find clothes to fit over her daughter’s cloth nappies. Starting with sewing, she has since turned her hand to basket-weaving, repairing, knitting, embroidery and more. She has a passion for sustainability and an energy and zest for getting things done which is what makes her such a valuable member of our team.
