We recently lost a compassionate and much-loved young man from our Adelaide Hills community: Leif Indigo Justham. Leif believed we each have the power to change the world for the better. He created the Instagram handle @changeyoursuper to ask people to think about their super fund and whether it invests in fossil fuels and, if it does, to consider changing to a super fund that doesn't invest in fossil fuels or polluting projects. With approximately $3 trillion invested in Australian super funds, Leif believed everybody could use the power of their money to make a difference. Leif was driven by his convictions and his love of our earth. He cared deeply about climate change and habitat degradation, and he was an active volunteer in planting trees and restoring habitat.

Tragically, Leif died in an accident on the Nullarbor. He was cycling around Australia to raise awareness about his campaign, @changeyoursuper, stopping and talking to anyone who would listen. Leif was just 21 years of age. This courageous young man did so much to change the world for the better in just a few short years of adulthood, and Leif's family want to honour his life by continuing his campaign. You can find his campaign at www.leifjustham.com. A tragic loss to the world, Leif will be deeply missed. Thank you.
