07: Earth Day: Climate Chats and Sustainability Solutions
Episode 7
Thursday, 22 April, 2021

The 22nd of April, the Earth Day, marks human mobilisation to protect our planet. Our world is being transformed because of the urge to dominate and exploit it, rather than being a part of it. Unless we act now, this change may be irreversible. In this episode, we describe how our childhood and growing up in different countries shaped our attitudes to sustainability. We also tackle the most efficient practices in climate change communication and promoting behaviour change to others. In this episode we are also joined by a special guest. Tune in for an intimate (nearing TMI...) conversation straight from our couch! (1:41) – Our unique experiences of sustainability (16:07) - Climate change as a one-dimensional issue (23:27) – Perks of vegetarianism (25:07) – How to communicate climate change efficiently? (31:37) – Should we induce fear while discussing climate change? How does human anxiety play into our sustainable behaviour? (39:12) – Be kind to yourself and others while caring for the planet! (53:37) – Are we overrating our agency? Climate change as a systemic issue
