Your Green Voice - Environmental Podcast with Xan Phillips

Welcome to another edition of Your Green Voice, a podcast that aims to bring you news about solutions that will solve our climate crisis.

On Friday 3rd September 2022, Stuart McBain will Charge Around Australia in an electric car - but it won’t be a quick journey, it will take Stuart three months as he is using a new piece of solar technology - printed solar panels that you can roll up and put in the trunk of your car your.

Developed at Newcastle University in Australia by Professor Paul Dastoor, a world authority on organic electronics, this is the major test of these panels as they will be used in rugged and inhospitable areas.. 

We recently spoke to Stuart and started by asking him to explain the difference between these solar solar panels and traditional ones.

This interview was first broadcast on Southampton's 103.9 Voice FM during the radio show Your Green Voice which airs every Thursday at 2pm.

In January 2021 Southampton football club launched the Halo Effect a long-term strategy  that aims to create four positive impacts through the fans, the community, the corporate business and most importantly the environment.

This effort has seen them rise up the Premier League’s sustainability table - from 18th in 2019, 6th in 2020 and last year’s efforts have seen them rise to joint third with Manchester City.

In this podcast we meet Southampton FC’s, Operations and Sustainability Manager, Caroline Carlin, who talks about how they grew their success and what they need to achieve in 2022 to move up the table.

Caroline also has an update on the Home Grown initiative which sees 250 trees planted in Southampton every time an academy player makes a debut in the men's or women's senior teams.

This interview was first broadcast during the radio show Your Green Voice on Southampton's 103.9 Voice FM and is a Showcase UK production.

Here’s a question for you… where does most of our oxygen come from? 

If you were like me in 2021 you would say our oxygen comes from the forests, that’s why we’re planting so many trees.

Well, here’s a surprising fact.

Most of our oxygen comes from the ocean. 

This information was delivered at COP 26 by Dr Howard Dryden of the GOES Foundation, and he spelt out how much of a crisis humanity is causing in the oceans.

It is all down to our pollution - sewage, industrial waste, microplastics and would you believe it, cosmetics and all of this has caused a dramatic change.

The good news is it can easily be fixed and Dr Dryden has the answer.

Dr Dryden was kind enough to be interviewed for Your Green Voice following  COP26 and we started by asking him to explain about the oceans and oxygen production.
