It's given me more awareness around what, really, is important: the world we occupy, life, love, family, friends and adventures. We are constantly finding alternatives to the plastic-filled world we live in, with a goal to become zero waste. • How We Got Happy: Stories of health, hope and happiness from 20 young Kiwis who beat depression by Jonathan Nabbs and Eve Macfarlane, photography by Mark Hamilton, published by Bateman Books, RRP$39.99, Release date September 13.
