Our aim for our 'edutaining' six-part series is that it's a mini crash course in the key climate themes — and every episode inspires all to be activists in their own way. Sustainability is a huge conversation though, and with this final episode we thought we’d also help all who listen feel empowered to be more responsible, considerate global citizens.
High-level thinking made digestible and do-able — as ever, this episode of Funny Old World provides a better understanding of the basics, and how to help tackle the climate emergency.
We’d love to hear from you! Any sustainability tips to share?
