Guests in the The Sustainable Hour’s climatesafety-bunker on 22 April 2019 are 17-year-old school striker Oscar Pearce, student and school captain at Albert Park College, and our treasured ‘people-reporter’ Lene Foghsgaard who stops by the headquarters to greet our listeners with a proper ‘See you!’ before she heads off to Denmark. She promises to continue her Sustainable People reporting from over there, so we are not going to commence a long thank you speech right here… but we have so many interesting interviews and reports to thank her for.

To get a bit of fresh air after the federal election, we head off to the zoo to visit Tony Caon, who is Sustainability Manager at Werribee Open Range Zoo at Zoos Victoria.

Colin Mocket talks about the federal election result, and a new report about global sea levels rising more than two metres by the end of this century, and he’s also attended a seminar about what the post-carbon economy could like if only Australia started embracing renewable energy, and what the really dirty coal power in the now re-elected Australian government looks like according to Greenpeace and the investigative journalist Michael West .

John Dassieu is an Aussie, who lives in the United States, a constituent of the Division of Chisholm. “We would like to ask for your help in spreading the #VoteClimate message in the face of the current climate emergency. Prominent artist and climate activist John Dassieu sings ‘Try The Greens’ to spread the #VoteClimate message,” Boylan Studios wrote to The Sustainable Hour from New York. So, thank you and of course we can do that. Here’s the song on Youtube

“People are committed now. The youth are rising.”~ Oscar Pearce, Australian student
