HUCK columnist: Ruth Carruthers

Ruth Carruthers

Ruth Carruthers is a Climate Advocate for the British Council. From her typing-desk atop a Glasgow hill, Ruth likes to write about all things environmental, but has a particular obsession with beach litter and protecting our world's oceans. She believes that we all have a duty to protect the environment but especially those of us who enjoy outdoor sports, because we don't say thanks to Mother Nature enough.
