S1 Ep8: 'Tis The Season To Be...Green!
Update: 2019-11-28
Description
Hello, welcome to EPISODE EIGHT! Time has absolutely flown and this is our final episode of 2019. Fear not, we will be back next year with more climate positive solutions and chats. We want to say a massive thank you to YOU - our supporters and listeners who have been championing us since the day one.
‘Tis The Season To Be...Green, is all about channeling your inner climate queen and taking the less is more approach to this festive season. It can be a tough time of year and very stressful, so we are encouraging you to choose PRESENCE over PRESENTS this holiday season. Why not give the gift of your time to the ones you love? Or volunteer your time to support others who aren’t so fortunate. This episode is packed with lots of ideas, tips and tricks for a more sustainable festive season.
This Friday November 29th, also marks another global student climate strike for our future. We stand in solidarity with the thousands of students taking to the streets to demand change all across the world. #GlobalStrike4Future
