Juliette Lambert, a young, socially conscious woman and founder of the \u00abLokal Life\u00bb collective, talks to us about her perspective, the collective\u2019s formation, and the many initiatives that have been carried out in the area over the past little more than two months. <\/b><\/p>\n

Tell us a little about yourself<\/b><\/p>\n

I lived in Wallis in the Pacific when I was little, and then in Martinique. After that, I moved to France to study to become a speech-language pathologist and returned to Martinique in January 2017. While I was in mainland France, I changed my consumption habits. I tried to reduce my waste on a daily basis, and I was successful. When I arrived here, I was truly confronted with a different world\u2014one dominated by hypermarkets and with few easily accessible local alternatives. So I did some online research on what\u2019s available in Martinique and realized there are plenty of people who want to consume in the same way I do, and that maybe we could all come together to find solutions as a group.<\/p>\n

How did the project get started?<\/b><\/p>\n

On September 28, I organized a get-together at my place through a Facebook event titled \u00abFounding of the Lokal Life Collective<\/i>\u00bb. Seven people, most of whom were already involved in community organizations, came to the meeting. The takeaway from this first meeting was that consumers want to make better purchasing choices, but it was clear that few consumers were taking the same approach as we were. From there, I moderated the group via our Facebook page. The goal was also to share information about initiatives and events taking place in Martinique. Then I visited the respective locations of the collective\u2019s members (nonprofits or businesses) and built networks.<\/p>\n

Why a collective rather than an association?<\/b><\/p>\n

I decided to start a collective because I didn\u2019t want there to be a hierarchical relationship among the group members and I wanted everyone to be aware of their individual responsibility. What interests me is the idea of passing things on, but without me having to carry the entire burden. The foundation is exchange.<\/p>\n

What are the objectives of \u00abLocal Life<\/i>\u00bb<\/b><\/p>\n

What matters most to me is taking action. The primary goal would be to come together, take action by raising individual awareness, and support that effort in a compassionate way.<\/p>\n

What steps have been taken since the first meeting?<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"

There was a workshop on making deodorant, as well as hands-on workshops on making coconut oil and soap. Next week, we\u2019ll be making avocado oil and ash soap.<\/p>\n

We also took part in the \u201cClean Country\u201d campaign as part of European Waste Reduction Week. The team was very motivated.<\/p>\n

I also led a zero-waste workshop with a group of seven people I know to varying degrees, but who all wanted to reduce their waste. The goal was to find practical solutions for each person and draw up a list of steps they\u2019ll need to take to achieve their goals. We\u2019re supposed to meet again in three months to check in. Right now, I\u2019m the one supporting them, but in a year or two, they\u2019ll be the ones supporting others. That\u2019s the power of spreading the word!<\/p>\n

In the meantime, we are working on creating an interactive map that lists all the addresses of fruit and vegetable producers who offer a produce basket service, including delivery locations and dates.<\/p>\n

So, is the reception good?<\/b><\/p>\n

Yes, I feel that people want to get involved, but there\u2019s often conscious or unconscious resistance. By organizing events, it\u2019s easier for people to get involved without feeling afraid, since they feel less alone. I\u2019m really happy because I feel like there\u2019s fertile ground here. There are lots of young people my age who want to see things move forward!<\/p>\n

And how do you feel about the results?<\/b><\/p>\n

I started the collective for myself, to consume more responsibly, so I\u2019m already happy because I\u2019m learning a lot and discovering supply chains I didn\u2019t know about. I\u2019m meeting people in the field who are doing the same thing. It\u2019s also rewarding on a social level. I didn\u2019t have any expectations to begin with, so it\u2019s all been positive! For me, the real results will come when someone says to me, \u00abI want to do a workshop with \u00abLokal Life<\/i>\u00bband that he sees his project through to the end on his own initiative. At that point, I'll know that he has truly come to realize something for himself.\".<\/p>\n
