HUCK columnist: Olly Zanetti
Olly Zanetti is a writer and journalist specialising in environmental issues, urbanism and political cultures. He is pretty horrified by the way humanity treats its environment, and by how people treat each other, but is excited by the ideas and dynamism put forward by individuals and groups looking for alternatives. Olly has bylines in New Internationalist, The Ecologist and The Guardian as well as being a columnist and feature writer for HUCK. He has just begun a PhD in Geography, where he will be investigating the politics of food aid in Southern Africa.
