Guests in the Sustainable Hour no 218 are: Claire Ziegler, a member of Geelong Sustainability, the Repair Cafe in Highton and organiser of a World Environment Day event, and Colin Mockett, who is just back from Shanghai and has a great story to tell about what has happened there in the last year.

Over the phone we talk with Dr Martin Rice, head of The Climate Council, and David Holmgren, permaculture co-founder and author. We also play a clip with Jeremy Rifkin and a song by Baba Brinkman.
