Dr Bob Brown at the Sustainable Living Festival aroused the audIence to save the TARKINE.  He speaks to a young doctor perched as a protector in a tree to bring that remote forest to the city audience.  We hear from Jane Goodall about young people restoring the web of life or falling into despair and dramatic moments from the Sea Shepherd as it is nearly squashed by two whaling boats.  The audience gave him a standing ovation because he celebrates the altruistic side of us that takes a stand.

In an interview with Vivien Langford later down by the Yarra,  Bob Brown urges us to believe in democracy.  Lobby hard to be heard and stop voting for people who will betray us with destructive policies.  He talks about DRAWDOWN actions outlined by his friend Paul Hawkins such as restoring forest management to indigenous people like the Orrang Asli in Malaysia.

Vivien shows him some meatless meat and he discusses why he is not a vegan but that the people leading us to a mainly plant based diet are climate heroes.

He praises those standing up against new coal mines and fighting the anti protest laws right through to the courts as true patriots.  His message is don't get depressed ,get active.

Campaigns that needs your help to save the Tarkine Forest are through the Bob Brown Foundation.

The Goongerah Environment Centre is preventing logging in East Gippsland.

Let us know what you are doing in a 100 words and we will read it out on the radio.

Today Erin Jones talks Sustainable Transport. Starting with the potential of powering Melbourne’s trains with renewable energy with campaigners Pat Simons - Yes 2 Renewables Community Coordinator and Rachel Lynskey, Friends of the Earth's Sustainable Cities Campaigner.

We chat with Richard McNeall a volunteer with the Tesla Owners Club of Australia (TOCA) who coordinated the Round Australia Electric Highway, a joint initiative between the Tesla Owners Club of Australia and the Australian Electric Vehicle Association.  The Round Australia Electric Highway https://www.teslaowners.org.au/round-australia allows drivers of EVs – of any brand – to circumnavigate the whole country, including going through the Red Centre.  The average distance between charge points is 200km, with only a few outliers at 400 km. The TOCA is issuing certificates to the first 100 vehicles to complete the fully circuit around the country.  

Finally we speak with Louise Page from Save Westernport https://www.savewesternport.org/  about the proposed AGL floating gas import platform at Crib Point. There is a public rally in Hastings at Hastings Foreshore on July 1st.

In this podcast, Beyond Zero radio talks to Sophie Vorrath, Deputy Editor of RenewEconomy and One Step Off The Grid, about the latest National Energy Outlook from Bloomberg New Energy Finance which predicts Coal to be kaput in Australia by 2050, as renewables, batteries take over.

"Australia’s coal-fired generation capacity could be little more than a twinkle in Tony Abbott’s eye by as early as 2050, when it will have been all but snuffed out by cheap renewables and battery storage, and household energy investments."” by Sophie Vorrath  [Photo supplied]
