This is part two of my fascinating conversation with Philip Carcia who completed the Single Year Grid last year in New Hampshire.

Do have a listen to part one if you haven’t made the time to put this into perspective.

This interviewee was suggested by long term listener Keith Foskett who met Philip on a mountain one day while hiking in the states.

His story and the target he set himself is pretty incredible and shows a massive amount of dedication, sacrifice and commitment to achieve it.

Before all the Covid-19 hit the news and somewhere after the fire in Australia I had the pleasure to speak with Emily Penn about a topic that was in the news at the time, the impact single use plastics were having in our lives and more importantly how plastic was now in our food chain and no doubt, within us too.
