This week, in a special episode of Earth Shakers, we turn the tables on our host Lizzie…

You may know Lizzie Carr from her social media where she highlights plastic pollution, galvanises communities to come together to clean up our waterways and beaches, or from news coverage where she speaks truth to power with an aim to hold corporations and Governments accountable for their practices and policies.

Lizzie’s producer Stevie steps in for hosting duties to put Lizzie in the hot seat to find out more about her work as a full-time activist and climate campaigner. Lizzie describes a typical day looks like behind the scenes of what people may see on social media, she describes eco-anxiety and how it manifests for her and her coping mechanism, and for the first time she talks about being pregnant and her thoughts on eco-parenting. Lizzie also discusses climate change in the context of a pandemic, how Governments have shifted focus, but have we seen how quickly they can act when they need to and should a similar urgency be given to their policies around climate change.

Finally, Lizzie submits to a "lightning round" and divulges a few things you definitely don’t know about her!

Dwayne is the first black Briton to have walked to the magnetic North Pole, he was awarded the City of London’s highest honour of The Freedom of the City of London for his work with young people to engage them with the countryside.

In this episode Dwayne discusses how he developed his love for nature and the outdoors into a career, moving from Jamaica to the UK as a young boy and feeling like he needed to hide his true self in order to fit in with his peers and stay safe in inner city London where during his teens he was the victim of both knife and gun crime.

Dwayne also opens up about the recent Countryfile episode where he described the UK outdoors as not being as welcoming an environment to people of colour. His comments sparked a National race conversation and gained Countryfile its largest number of complaints in its history on the BBC.

Richie is a leading figure and evangelist for Breathwork, the next revolution in health and wellness. Having worn many hats, from a corporate management consultant to digital entrepreneur, Richie eventually discovered Breathwork which was a catalyst for a life changing journey that completely shifted his own perspective and beliefs on the potential for human beings. Richie spent years traveling across five continents learning from many of the modern day masters of Breathwork. He continuously witnessed the transformative effects of when people became aware of their breathing and started to use it as a tool to create physical mental and emotional benefits. This free medicine is available to everyone and it's Richie’s mission to remind the world how to breathe with purpose.
