Anne Drake

Anne Dra­ke used to work in the pac­ka­ging industry befo­re she tur­ned her life around. Back in 2013, she wat­ched a docu­men­tary called Plas­tic Pla­net by Wer­ner Boo­te and it chan­ged her life. Ever sin­ce, she has been com­mit­ted to a zero was­te lifesty­le and hel­ping others in their transition notably through her books ​‘Eco­lo­gie op hoge hak­ken’ (‘Eco­logy in high heels’) and ​‘Eco-lifesty­le. Aan de slag!’ (‘Eco-lifesty­le. Get to work!’) (unfor­tu­na­tely not avai­la­ble in English yet) and her workshops. 

Anne deli­vers her workshops all over Flan­ders and tea­ches atten­dees how to make natu­ral cos­me­tics and eco-friendly clea­ning pro­ducts such as solid sham­poo bars and disin­fec­tant clea­ner. Check out the dates and loca­tions of her upco­ming workshops here and join Anne for a who­le­so­me and pro­duc­ti­ve few hours. 

If you’re not able to attend a workshop in per­son, no panic! Anne has laun­ched a webshop whe­re you can order handy boxes with all of the raw mate­rials nee­ded and access to an onli­ne ins­truc­tion video so you can make your own care pro­ducts such as solid sham­poo, con­di­tio­ners bars and makeup remo­ver from the com­fort of your own home. You could even make an event out of it and have some friends over so you can all learn and be ins­pi­red together. 

Anne’s webshop also sells every­day hou­sehold items to make your sus­tai­na­ble lifesty­le easier. Redu­ce your envi­ron­men­tal foot­print and switch to vegan floss, sus­tai­na­ble tooth­brushes and all natu­ral pac­ka­ging-free soaps!
