Guests in The Sustainable Hour on 20 February 2019 are:

Filmmaker David Lowe who is crowdfunding for a new multimedia production called ‘Confusing Them With Our Joy’.

Karla and Anna are two 14-year-old school girls from Denmark who have written a song about climate change, called ‘Simple Change’. Lene Foghsgaard talks with them via Skype.

The Bystander Effect: We play an excerpt of the presentation the American psychologist Margaret Klein Salamon held via video-link from New York at the National Sustainable Living Festival in Melbourne on 8 February 2019.

Colin Mockett takes a look at the Paris Agreements and how certain countries step up to the challenge of reaching its targets by boosting energy efficiency and banning petrol cars and coal, while Australia is shamefully ignoring its commitments.

“We have a huge crisis, and it needs a huge solution…”
