What On Earth? the Hubbub sustainability podcast

Have you heard?

We've started a brand new podcast What On Earth? delving into the past, present and future of environmental issues (and hopefully it doesn't make you want to hide in a bunker ‘till it’s all over).

Presented by our resident vlogger Sarah Divall and produced by radio’s Ross Buchanan, What On Earth? has just launched it's second series starting with "Do we need to stop flying?"

Do you want to know more about the environment? Keen to make a change but not sure where to start? Tired of reading three articles that all give you different answers? We send these podcasts out as an offering to you. Will listening solve climate change, probably not. But it might just give you the tools you need to talk to other people about what you’ve learned, change minds and make changes in your life that will protect the planet and the people around you.

Listen to series two here...
