Ep 34 How To Respond to Ecocide?
Solo again to explore some of the ways to respond to ecological collapse and climate chaos; first a story on the benefits of mixing up your farming and permaculture; then how the the switch to renewables creates its own waste stream; then a direct action in the UK that challenges greenwashing; and quickly mention some 3rd party results from the midterms.
