In this bonus episode listener Cyril from the Isle of Wight asked us to revisit the question relating to the avoidance of death and its impact on sustainability. 

Stuart and William  delve deeply into this question and explore it from a fresh perspective.

In this episode, we welcomed Liam Shoesmith Head Gardener/ Dept Parks Manager for Truro City Council to the podcast. 

The three questions, which lead us down some interesting avenues of debate, were;

- If you were in charge of the country what would you concentrate on in regards to nature?

- Our currency is seemingly focused on the upward curve of growth. Would it work if our currency was more focused on the downward curve of reducing carbon emissions? What would that look like in reality in the form of currency and on daily life, and would that realistically reverse mans impact on naturally occurring climate change?

- There are still many people, including those who hold power, that refuse to either believe in climate change and that we as humans are the cause. Should we try to engage with them, change their minds? Or do we concentrate our efforts on helping those who do believe to make changes in their lives that will help the cause?

In this bonus episode, Stuart and William answer a question from Audrey in East Sussex , were we performers as children? 

Giving a behind the scenes insight of the People's Countryside Environmental Debates podcast.

 In this episode, we welcomed Andy Gunn from BBOWT to the podcast. 

The three questions, which once again inspired an interesting debate, are;

- Should nature reserves be for people and wildlife or should they just be for wildlife?

- The stereotype of environmentalists are hippies and people living unconventional lifestyles. Is this the reality? And how do we get more suits at the forefront?

- How can we move on from the idea of everything being disposable?

Happy New Year! Here's a little intro to who we are, and what we do.

The three questions, which once again inspired an interesting debate, are:

- Mass consumerism is a big driver of climate change, what are the practical steps we can all take to consume less? Where can we all start with this issue?

-With music festival season starting, what measures are festivals already taking to limit their environmental impact and what more can be done?
