A Sprint through: The Basics

Our very first Sustainability Sprint! 

A Sprint through The Basics 

In our very first podcast we talk about how we introduce people to basic concepts of sustainability. We chat about what we think 'the basics' are and share some practical ways to cut through the complexity. 

We share some of the tools we use as conversation starters, things we know help people understand what sustainability is and, importantly, why it matters. 

We start to discuss the importance of having a framework for understanding sustainability and why we think connecting with individuals on a human level is so important. 

We also talk about cake (something we end up talking about a lot in these podcasts!). 

There is also chance for us to introduce some of the topics that have their own Sustainability Sprint such as storytelling and the importance of narrative for sustainability and how vital it is to be hopeful. 

We are sharing our conversations about sustainability to help you start your own.
