43. Our Carbon Footprint w/ Craig Reucassel

Late last year, the climate emergency was gaining real attention. Greta Thunberg addressed the UN with her now famous 'How Dare You' speech, school students marched through capital cities, and the summer's devastating summer bushfires showed that something needs to be done. But since our world has been gripped by a pandemic, the discussion around climate change has taken somewhat of a backseat. And honestly, it can feel like the discussion is too big for us to personally help save the planet. With so many around us with relaxed attitudes to climate change, we can wonder how our own little changes can make a difference. So, what shall we do about our carbon footprint? Chaser member Craig Reucassel has moved on from his War on Waste to a brand new ABC series, The Fight for Planet A. He joined the podcast to discuss some simple changes that lead to a big impact, while communicating to politicians and energy providers that our planet matters. Craig Reucassel is on Twitter @craigreucassel, and Craig's series The Fight For Planet A: Our Climate Challenge starts tonight on ABC TV at 8:30pm - and of course you can catch up on it anytime on iView.
