Guest in The Sustainable Hour on 25 September 2019 is Lachie Chomley from The Farm Next Door in Norlane.

We play an excerpt of the many questions from the community and of a speech by Councillor Jim Mason at the Council meeting on 24 September when a decision was to be made on whether or not to declare a climate emergency. Six of the eleven councillors rejected the idea.

We talk with Ben Pearson from World Animal Protection about the ghost nets that are killing turtles, sharks and other animals in the Gulf.

Greta Thunberg gave an emotional speech at the global climate summit in New York, we play an excerpt. And we round the hour off with a #FridaysForFuture song called ‘Unity’.

“In climate terms, time is running out. The climate deniers are a threat to our safety and security. Be kind to them, love them, but get them out of the way.”~ Jim Mason, Councillor, City of Greater Geelong
