Superjackets, sofas for life and smart shopping can all help end the climate crisis

Our guests

• Saskia Goeres, creator of Sofa Forlife
• Stephen Boyle, head of construction at Zero Waste Scotland
• Sharon McCracken, sustainability leader at IKEA

In this episode, we explore what the future of our homes looks like. 

We talk to Saskia Goeres about how the sight of so many abandoned sofas in Glasgow inspired her to create a sofa designed to last a lifetime to help end the climate crisis.

Zero Waste Scotland’s Stephen Boyle drops in to discuss ‘superjackets’ and other more sustainable ways of building better homes.

Sharon McCracken joins us from IKEA to translate the idea of ‘living lagom’ and explain why the global furniture store gave its customers cash to help them live more sustainably and then dropped the amount from £500 to £100 after proving that sustainable shopping really doesn’t cost the earth.
