Growing your own food is awesome 🥦🍓🫑. It's good for you, good for community and good for the planet 🌏. So why isn't everyone doing it? Turns out many of us think don't have the space, don't know how, or don't want that awful feeling of 'I tried, it died'. Paul West, Darryl Nichols and Andrew Valder have a good idea. They make it easy to begin by sending heirloom seeds to your door that, when you flip the pack, have a QR code on the back that you can scan to have the who's who of...

If you're a male under 50, the thing most likely to kill you is you. It's a sobering statistic, and one that has a lot to do with feeling trapped, alone and like there’s no-one to talk to. When Ben Akers lost his closest childhood friend, Steve, to suicide it started a journey that co-created Talk Club, a simple idea to get men talking more - and harming themselves less. Talk Club is now all over the world helping Ben deliver on his goal of saving the next Steve. In this ...

What if we could eliminate the 1.8 billion disposable coffee cups Australians send to landfill every year? That's exactly what Saxon Wright is working towards with Borrow by Huskee, a revolutionary reusable cup system that's making sustainability not just possible, but convenient. The journey begins with Wright's origins as founder of Pablo & Rusty's coffee company, where sourcing trips to coffee farms revealed mountains of discarded coffee husk waste. This sparked the creation of the or...

Chances are you’ve owned a pair of leather shoes, but have you ever stopped to consider their—excuse the pun—footprint? As we all know, leather comes from cows and cows contribute to climate change through their burps and farts and the deforestation that often occurs to give them land to live on. If that’s not enough, the tanning process causes damage too, using chemicals with nasty names like chromium and aldehyde which, in many parts of the world end up in the soil and rivers, which...

How much stuff have you got in your life? Go on, count it in your mind… Every book, pot and pan, every sock and pair of jeans. The couch, the stuff behind the couch. And so much more. According to the LA Times, the average US home contains around 300,000 items. Most of us don’t need most of it, but we still buy more, using up our home planet’s resources in the process. For 10 years the Garage Sale Trail has been swapping consumerism for community and making it more fun ...

It has been said that all change starts with mindset. And that to solve the environmental challenges of this world, we first need to people to believe that the environment does matter, a better world is possible, and all those excuses for why renewable energy or protection of our wild places can't happen are just that excuses. Natalie Kyriacou is making it her life's work to just that. Her latest creation is 'Nature's Last Dance', a book that adventures into the wonders of our planet and mak...

Plastic is a global problem. Since 1950 it’s estimated that together we humans have produced over 9 billion tonnes of the stuff - and half of that in the last 13 years alone. Every piece ever made still exists and much of it makes its way into our oceans, breaking down into microplastics that end up in our food chain and, eventually, us. Lucy Jackson and Ricky Gilbey have made it their mission to help solve the problem by creating ocean toys out of ocean plastics. In this episode you'll...
