Guest in The Sustainable Hour on 31 October 2018 is Ken Dickens, managing director of Corio Waste Management.

Paul Wittwer explains that the National Day of Inaction on 30 November 2018 is actually a day of climate action.

Australian school kids go on school strike tomorrow. We play an excerpt of a speech that Greta Thunberg gave in Helsinki, Finland, on 20 October 2018, and we listen to a youtube-clip about the UK climate emergency action group Extinction Rebellion. We also mention figures from a new WWF report.

Barista Eddie Inostroza from Roadshow Coffee has a coffee-cup moment with Lene Fogsgaard as she launches the series ‘Sustainable People’.

30 October was The Sustainable Hour’s five year birthday, and we play a short clip with one of our guests in Show no 1. Eventually, we are heard dancing out of the studio with Baba Brinkman’s ‘Party Don’t Stop’ and SolarEdge’s ‘Solar Gangnam Style’.

 

“Participation – that’s what’s gonna save the human race.”
