Lisa Rogers, TV presenter

"It's really important that everybody does what they can to slow down global warming. If we don't, the planet will adapt and survive, but it's us who would suffer."

About the People

Lisa Rogers has been a supporter of the Revolve Brighton to London Eco-Rally since the beginning. So far she's test-driven a zero emission Nissan FCV and a biothenol Saab convertible. She also joined our People's Eco-Rally in her her own car which is converted to run on pure vegetable oil. In 2010 she thoroughly the insane Oaktec rally-racing hybrid and the totally electric MINI E.

“I’ve been a member of Greenpeace for years, but possibly didn’t live as green a lifestyle as I should have done. “Having had two children I’ve started to think about what sort of planet I’ll be leaving them to live on.”

The former Big Breakfast star has gone on to present other Channel 4 programmes including Scrapheap Challenge (alongside Robert Llewellyn) as well as football shows for both ITV and BBC, but she also knows a thing or two about cars, having fronted Sky One’s Vroom Vroom and Carlton’s Pulling Power motoring programmes.
