My guest this week is Saasha Celestial-One is the co-founder of Olio the waste-sharing app, whose mission is to create a waste-free world.

The problem is that our culture of overconsumption is hurting us, and the planet.

33% of food globally is wasted. 50% of the clothes in our wardrobes never worn & 65% of greenhouse gases are caused by household consumption.

Olio's solution is to share more & waste less.

Dr Camilla Pang is an award-winning author & autism advocate . Blessed with the combination of ASD, ADHD & PhD she uses the powers of neurodiversity & science to navigate social norms & advocates for it being a hidden treasure for human evolution on a finite planet. Her first book Explaining Humans won the Royal Society Insight investment award 2020 making her the youngest ever winner for this prestigious prize & the first person of colour.

She provides a unique perspective on the complexities of human behaviour delving into topics such as genetics, machine learning, neuroscience, network theory, game theory, and biochemistry to offer insights into the underlying mechanisms that drive our behaviours. When we understand why we act the way we do, we are more able to get a perspective on it, and decide to make the changes we need to when it is harming ourselves, others, our community or our environment. By giving ourselves a birds' eye view of our impact on climate, we can begin to shift how we do things. But it is also people 'in power' who need to re-engineer political systems and social models. They do this only when we the people start to boycott, protest and demand system-change. 

When we understand how we tick, we know how to tock. People power!

My guest this week is Fleur Pierets. In 2017, Fleur & her fiancee Julian launched 22 The Project, in which the couple planned to get married in every country that legalised same-sex marriage. Following the untimely death of her wife in 2018, after only 4 marriages, Fleur turned to writing & wrote her debut memoir ‘Julian’ whilst advocating for human rights.

The alchemy of transforming pain into purpose and loss into learning is not a science; it's an art—one that Fleur Pierets has mastered with grace and fortitude. It is a poignant reminder that even when life unravels, we can weave the threads back together into a tapestry of our own design—a testament to love, loss, and the enduring power of the human spirit.

Uju Asika is the author of Bringing up Race, and her latest book Raising Boys who do Better. She speaks on topics such as race, intersectionality and anti-racist parenting. Formerly a journalist Uju has featured across mainstream media, including Good House Keeping, Marie Claire, Good Morning Sunday and Woman’s Hour.

Raising Boys Who do Better is a hopeful guide to raising a new generation of boys who are able to embrace their true selves. In other words, boys who are free from the constraints of the ‘Man Box’ and who can be kinder, more compassionate to themselves and others, conscious and accountable. It’s a call to parents, educators and anyone who cares about the boys in their lives and the men they will become. We can all do better.

She believes that courage is finding whatever spark there is within you to keep going, even when it’s uncomfortable, even when you’re scared, even when it seems impossible. In many ways, courage is an act of faith.

 Thank you do much Uju for your important book inviting us to create a society in which we raise happy, healthy boys who can grow up to be compassionate, resilient men, who can work in partnership with women to create a better world and more healthy planet.

Natalie Fée is an award-winning environmentalist, author of 'How to Save the World for Free' and 'Do Good, Get Paid', speaker and founder of City to Sea, a UK-based organisation running high-impact campaigns to stop plastic pollution at source for which she won the Sunday Times Volvo Visionaries Award, and the Sheila McKechnie Award for Environmental Justice.

With City to Sea their  primary campaigns are ‘Refill‘, Europe’s leading free tapwater initiative; ‘Switch the Stick‘, their successful cotton bud campaign run in 2016/17 which called on all UK retailers to switch from plastic to paper stem buds, stopping over 400 tonnes a year of single-use plastic at source and ‘Plastic-free Periods’ which to date has directly reached over 4 million people and includes a schools programme currently being rolled out in the England and Wales. 
 
These campaigns show us that that when we look at what we use in everyday life, and clean up our act, we can make good choices that help, rather than harm, the environment.
