Description

Please welcome award winning climate activist Laura Young aka @lesswastelaura to the podcast.

If you haven’t heard of Laura, she is the person that changed the law in under 500 days to ban disposable vapes in the UK. She is also an award winning climate activist as well as being named in the King's Foundation's 35 under 35.

Laura talks about her current PhD research on enhancing Scotland’s resilience to climate change. Her research explores both physical changes to the environment as well as the negative physiological impact and financial burden that are often overlooked after the initial weather event.

She has a wealth of knowledge and ideas about nature based solutions to the changing climate. But it is not just her ideas on nature based solutions that are intriguing but also her community led initiatives of sharing resources, like a tool library.

She is passionate about using the community around you and coming together to make it a better place for everyone with less waste.

We feel very lucky to have chatted to Laura and were so inspired by how she sees the world and the future. She was just such a pleasure to chat to and we look forward to seeing what she brings to the future.
