with the profits going to World Wildlife Fund Cymru.\u201d<br \/>\nOn her website, Ms Cook says: \u201cYou\u2019ll often find me writing about veggie food, why I think it\u2019s important to eat organic, and why I eat a \u2018flexitarian\u2019 diet, plus lots of love for local, sustainable food producers, eco-tourism, conservation, green travels, days out in nature \u2013 the list goes

the book Farmageddon as \u201ca real eye opener for anyone who is keen to know more about what I am going on about.\u201d Her\u00a0site aims to prove that it\u2019s still possible to enjoy life while caring about the food you eat.<br \/>\nHungry City Hippy won two Wales Blog Awards in 2014 in the Best New Blog and Best Food Blog categories. It has also been shortlisted for Best Green and Eco Blog at the UK Blog Awards, which will be held in April this year.<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dave King hopes his nomination will encourage more people to get involved in environmental work in Cardiff.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIt was a complete surprise. I\u2019m absolutely chuffed. Very surprised, but also very pleased. I\u2019m a bit embarrassed about it all to be honest, but there are some very stand out nominees there so I have no expectations. If we can encourage any more people to get involved then I\u2019ll consider it a success,\u201d said Mr King.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Rivers Group cleans the rivers and waterside paths in and around Cardiff, working to clear blockages and improve water flow. As well as dealing with rubbish, the group also manages habitats by cutting back trees and reducing invasive species of plants, such as Himalayan Balsam. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIf I win, the money will go to the Cardiff Rivers Group. We need more life jackets and we\u2019re also looking at a new winch, so it will go towards that kind of stuff.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe group is still growing and we\u2019re still getting lots of new people coming in. You can tell we\u2019re making a difference because it\u2019s taking us a lot less time to blitz clean areas, particularly on the Taff,\u201d said Mr King.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Asked about his motivation, Mr King said: \u201cA big part of it is that it\u2019s great fun to do it. Obviously it\u2019s an important message but with the Rivers Group in particular the idea is that we have fun doing it. You get a bunch of fifty-something\u2019s together and it\u2019s like we\u2019re all little boys again.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18109\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18109\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-18109\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/David-King-1-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"A big motivation for Dave King is the fun that he has while cleaning the rivers of Cardiff.\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/David-King-1-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/David-King-1-1024x766.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/David-King-1-770x576.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/David-King-1-500x374.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/David-King-1-293x219.jpg 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/David-King-1.jpg 1027w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18109\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-18109\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/David-King-1-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"A big motivation for Dave King is the fun that he has while cleaning the rivers of Cardiff.\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/David-King-1-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/David-King-1-1024x766.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/David-King-1-770x576.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/David-King-1-500x374.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/David-King-1-293x219.jpg 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/David-King-1.jpg 1027w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/noscript> A big motivation for Dave King is the fun that he has while cleaning the rivers of Cardiff.<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But there\u2019s no rest for Mr King, who has to return to Cardiff from Westminster straight after today\u2019s ceremony to start a new project in Barry for the Keep Wales Tidy scheme. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThis is all building up to this coming weekend which is the start of the Spring Clean Cymru initiative, by Keep Wales Tidy, which runs from 1-5 March all across Wales.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe\u2019re getting more and more companies that want to get involved. We had the Great Taff Tidy in and around Cardiff and we had 300 volunteers over the week who collected over 400 bags, or six and a half tonnes, and that was sponsored by Redrow. It\u2019s good for them because they\u2019re putting something back into the community. The council park services team collect what we gather. I think it\u2019s a really good, positive approach with all the different strands working together.&#8221;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Alongside his work with the Rivers Group, Mr King co-founded the Keep Grangetown Tidy group \u00a0along with Ashley Lister, Chair of Grangetown Community Action.<\/span><br \/>\nMr Lister said: \u201cWhen I found out that Dave had been shortlisted for an Earth Hour Community Hero Award, I thought it was absolutely fantastic. \u00a0Dave does so much for the environment through working with the community, whether it&#8217;s with his Keep Grangetown Tidy, Cardiff Rivers Group or Keep Wales Tidy hat on, his contribution is outstanding. As a co-founder of Keep Grangetown Tidy, I can honestly say our initiative would not be where it is today without Dave King.<br \/>\n\u201cI&#8217;d just like to thank Dave for all the work he does for the environment and with the community, and wish him the best of luck for the Awards ceremony.\u201d<br \/>\nMr King was nominated for the award by Lynne Thomas, who has worked with him in her role as project manager for Grangetown Community Gatewayand on other schemes.<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI find David so inspirational. He&#8217;s so passionate about keeping the waterways clean in South Wales, and he\u2019s always got time for anyone who wants to get involved. I just think that someone like that deserves to be recognised,\u201d said Ms Thomas. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The other nominations for the Community Heroes category are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Martin Angel, who has made outstanding contributions to wildlife conservation work in his local community in Hampshire and Sussex.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Carrie Cort, who set up her own initiative, Sussex Green Living, to teach adults and schoolchildren about waste prevention and the environment.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Catherine Fookes, campaign manager at the Organic Trade Board who encourages others to buy organic to be more climate friendly.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Joe Duggan, co-founder of Crystal Palace Transition Town, which runs projects from food markets to community clean ups.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gloria Esposito, environmental scientist who has championed improvements to air quality in London.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TWO Cardiff environmentalists have been recognised for their inspiring work by the World Wildlife Fund in this years Earth Hour Heroes awards.
