Guests in The Sustainable Hour on 27 February 2019 are:

[20:50] Judy Hassel, organiser of the Sustainable Living Show in Queenscliffe on 23 March 2019.

[33:04] Brianne West, founder of the beauty products company Ethique, who talks about how we can reduce the use of plastic across all aspects in our lives.

[42:55] Nick McGrath and Emma Griffin, owners of OnStone, a shop that makes photos printed on stone and framed with recycled timber.

[00:47] At Geelong Council’s regular meeting Tuesday evening, Mik Aidt submitted a question for Question Time to welcome Geelong’s new Youth Council, the city’s official “faces of the future” – asking both the older and the young councillors whether they will be supporting the Global School Strike event on 15 March.

[14:07] We play an excerpt of a speech Greta Thunberg gave to the EU leaders, asking them to double their emissions reductions efforts and speed, at an event in Brussels. We round the hour off with a climate change song by Sustainable Soundtracks: ‘We Don’t Have Time’

“The steps of city hall are available for the youth on the 15th of March – as we would offer to any community group. As long as it is abiding by the law, we would encourage the Geelong community to be able to express their views and to grow, educate and communicate their position on issues…” ~ Anthony Aitken, Geelong Councillor – answering a question from Mik about Council’s response to the global school strike event on 15 March
