Bonus! Can Earth Day be badass again? (via What On Earth)

Bonus! Can Earth Day be badass again? (via What On Earth)

The climate is changing. So are we. On What On Earth, you’ll explore a world of solutions with host Laura Lynch and our team of journalists. In 1970, 20 million people showed up to fight for the environment on the first Earth Day. More than five decades later, is it time for this much tamer global event to return to its radical roots?


OG organizer Denis Hayes recounts how – amidst other counterculture movements at the time – his team persuaded roughly one in ten Americans to take to the streets. As he approaches 80, Denis offers his singular piece of advice to the next generation of climate leaders. Then, environmental warriors Maria Blancas and Axcelle Campana share ideas on what a reinspired Earth Day could look like – including making it a public holiday.

Is your bank taking the climate crisis seriously? Have you ever thought to ask? Today we talk about the difference we can make with our savings and investments. We also reflect on the whole lifecycle cost of major purchases and how we might talk about money without turning into that meme of Homer Simpson backing into a hedge.

Dude, where’s my alternative to cars?

Dude, where’s my alternative to cars?

Look, we get it. Most cities are built for cars. And it’s not always easy to walk, bike or take public transit. But when 10 percent of the world's population is making 80 percent of driving emissions, surely we can do more than just surrender to the “car-infested suburban hellscape.” Today we talk e-bikes and carpools and the literal steps we can take to reduce our reliance on gas guzzlers. Because as it turns out, even a 10 percent reduction could change the world.

No more rotting tomatoes

No more rotting tomatoes

Quick — what’s in your crisper drawer? If you’re already feeling guilty about sad lettuce leaves, we feel you. More than half of our food waste comes from households, which means we can collectively do a lot more to organise, share and actually eat what we buy. (This one blew our minds: feng shui your fridge by moving fruits and veggies out of the drawers and into the doors.)
