From Everyday Actions to Global Impact: Rethinking Our Role in Climate Change with Professor Catherine Leyshon

In this episode of the State of the Earth Podcast, Mark is joined by Catherine Leyshon, a senior lecturer in Geography at the University of Exeter. They discuss how to unravel the hidden systems behind our daily routines to make a difference on the climate change impact and how the system itself can be redesigned. Mark and Catherine explore how simple activities like showering, shopping and commuting aren’t just routine but could be powerful practices that shape our planet’s future. Using Elizabeth Shove’s Theory of Enabled Practices helps us discover how shifting these ingrained behaviours can ignite a local revolution for sustainability and learn why every small choice you make matters in the fight against climate change. Whether you’re driven by a desire to make a personal change or eager to be part of a broader movement, this conversation will inspire you to rethink, act, and transform your everyday life for a healthier, greener tomorrow.
