I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but the last few episodes have been somewhat… bleak.There’s been a lot to discuss around climate change, governments, and corruption, but I realised if we kept focusing only on that, it was going to get all-consuming.So this week, I’m welcoming back Kate to help me share some good news stories instead!In this episode, we cover:What are drop bears?Some fun community topicsWhat happened at the UN Ocean ConferenceReasons why Kate was put off getting solar and myths about solarHow knowledge and access to information about the environment have changedComparing emissions per person in China and India vs. Australia and AotearoaBreaking down environmental stereotypes about other countriesWhen I talked about “marine saviour pirates,” I was thinking of Captain Paul Watson - he founded Sea Shepherd and now runs the Captain Paul Watson Foundation.Giveaway! This week, I'm giving away copies of Rewilding the Sea by Charles Clover - a fascinating look at how rewilding our oceans can restore ecosystems, protect marine life, and even help tackle climate change.
