The People's Countryside Environmental Debate Podcast with guest Julie Macken Deputy Queen Bee of Neve's Bees.
In this episode we welcomed Julie Macken Deputy Queen Bee of Neve's Bees.
We had three big questions in this episode which lead to an interesting discussion, they were;
- Society seems more opinion and personality focused, and not necessarily based in fact. What are the pro’s and con’s of that for the environment?
- Having family overseas in Finland, I have to fly to and from the country on at a least yearly basis, drastically increasing my carbon footprint. Are there effective ways of combating this other than just not flying?
- It seems like everyday there’s a new threat to our planet - running out of water in 25 years, melting of the icecaps in 20 years, losing our pollinators increasingly, irrevocable rise in temperature in 12 years. David Attenborough’s Blue Planet seems to have made a monumental change in attitude towards plastic. What might be the initiative to impact on these other threats?”
