Half way through the National Recycling Week, our guest in The Sustainable Hour on 14 November 2018 is singer Wayne Jury who is also head of waste reduction at Queenscliff Music Festival, coming up on 23 November. He has brought his guitar with him and performs two songs with sustainability themes for us, live on air.

Two students at Kardinia International College, Laura Kelly and Jude Corbet, explain why they are helping organising a school strike for climate action in Geelong on 23 November.

Colin Mockett is back – this time not with his ‘Global Outlook’, today he takes a local outlook on the political parties’ energy and climate policies – with the hope that sustainability and climate-aware voters will spread the message about who to vote for in the state election on 24 November.

We also listen to what some of the political candidates have to say about climate emergency, the Victorian Renewable Energy Target and wind energy – among them: Lloyd Davies from The Greens and Andy Meddick from the Animal Justice Party, both running in Western Victoria, and Liberal candidate Andrew Katos, independent candidate Damien Cole, Greens candidate Marian Smedley and Labor candidate Darren Cheeseman in the South Barwon electorate.

And we play a three-minute clip from 3RRR’s Greening the Apocalypse on 6 November 2018 where climate emergency campaigner Jane Morton was a guest in the studio and suggested what it is that has gone wrong with our current elected leaders in Canberra.

 

“Hearing the youth’s voice and taking them seriously, is not just ‘ticking the youth box’, it is unleashing a global revolution of sense, clarity and wisdom.”
