Heather Lounsbury, L.Ac. first got involved in environmental issues in high school. Raising awareness about our impact on the planet and making changes is a top priority. This is why she has invited Jo Royle to be on her show. Jo Royle is internationally recognized as one of Europe’s leading female ocean yachts skippers. Having learnt to sail from an early age, Jo’s passion for ocean adventure has launched her into a professional sailing career, whose accolades to-date include being one of the few sailors to have circumnavigated South Georgia in the Southern Ocean. Later this year Jo will take part in Adventure Ecology’s ocean expedition, the Plastiki. The Plastiki is the latest project by adventurist and environmentalist David de Rothschild. Jo will co-skipper a 60ft catamaran created almost entirely from post-consumer plastic bottles and self-reinforced PET along with a handpicked crew of leading scientists, adventurers, thought leaders and creatives. This ocean adventure of unrivaled proportions will take the team across the Pacific from San Francisco to Sydney. This unique and astonishing voyage will combine Jo’s passion for sailing and the environment by raising awareness on the challenges that our planet and its oceans face.
