Carla Soffritti

Carla Soffritti, Ecobnb co-founderFor Carla to travel is like breathing: a natural necessity. But traveling she realized how much this planet is fragile. So she decided to devote herself in every moment to protect our Earth “borrowed from our children.” When she does not travel, she is in a woodland 15 km from Parma in an ecological home where she lives with her family and she works on her projects: journalism (she has been enrolled since 1991), ella.it (an online and offline press office), Ecobnb, “Il Richiamo del Bosco” eco-bnb and other green ideas.

Role: Press Office

Dream: That the eco-friendly trip becomes a consolidated habit. As it is today, many recycle paper.
