Christmas is around the corner, which means goodbye 2021 and welcome 2022.
After all the commotion, eating, and drinking during the holiday season, January is usually about setting intentions, making a fresh start, and being your best self (all of that holiday drinking is likely to blame….). To help you set some green intentions for 2022, here are 5 environmental podcasts. They range from environmental comedy to environmental racism - but all are about current issues that are very important and how you can live a more sustainable life. What a great way to start a new year!
Brought to you by environmental charity Friends of the Earth, this podcast discusses popular stories from the climate movement and breaks down often-complex issues, like environmental racism, eco-anxiety and fracking. Frank yet inspiring, the podcast explores solutions to the climate crisis, and how anyone can have an impact, big and small.
Hosted by Jen Gale, this podcast is for those who want to learn about the ways their actions affect the planet and how they can live more sustainable lives. Gale chats to inspiring people to talk about the changes they’re making and the businesses and campaigns that they’re running. In recent episodes, Gale offers advice on weird weather and our disappearing seasons, reducing plastic waste in the oceans and sustainable parenting.
A funny podcast about the environment, sustainability, and all the total guff people talk in the name of saving the planet. Hosts Oliver Hayes and David Powell conduct in-depth yet entertaining interviews with interesting people to untangle confusing environmental concepts and policies, while exposing examples of greenwashing and the incompetents.
This podcast explores the stories of our great outdoors - from grand adventures, to science and conservation, to elite sportspeople, weekend warriors, and creatives who draw inspiration from nature. It’s about having meaningful, inspiring conversations that encourage more people to connect with the outdoors and celebrate (and care for) this beautiful planet that we call home.
