Today on the podcast, I’m sharing an interview that, retail strategist and host of the Bringing Business to Retail Podcast, Salena Knight did with me last week.

She is chatting with me and asking me a heap of questions about my upcoming trip to Antarctica. I thought it would be really cool to share this episode that has been aired on her Bringing Business to Retail Podcast, today with you.

You will understand a lot more about me, what’s coming up for me, and why I’m so excited to be chosen in Homeward Bound to head to Antarctica in February/March next year.

It’s time we humans took a long hard look at ourselves and how we’re living. In this post I touch why we need to stop acting like we have a Planet B. Plus I share a small action that you can do today to ensure we’ll never need a Planet B.

Last week I shared with you my exciting news that I'd been selected as one of 80 female scientists worldwide to join the second-ever Homeward Bound and fly the climate action flag on a global stage.
 
I've just launched a crowdfunding campaign and have just 10 days to raise the funds to cover my ship berth on this program.... a hefty AUD 22,000 (and this is just a portion of the total program costs). You can pledge your support here.

I’m changing things up this week!

Rather than showcase an interview or a “how to” episode on how to live more sustainably, I thought I’d share some thoughts and reflections with you on what’s going through my head this week as I turn the big 4-0!! Plus, I wanted to let you know of a few exciting opportunities and projects on the horizon….

Last week the POTUS, Donald Trump, announced that the United States was withdrawing from the Paris Agreement.

It was no big surprise.

He’d made it loud and clear during the 2016 Presidential Campaign that he’d withdraw from the Agreement if elected. Media speculation in the days leading up to the announcement hinted that it was just a matter of him saying the words and the U.S. was out. And of course there was the body language and the refusal by Trump to endorse his support of the Paris Agreement at the May 2017 G7 Summit in Sicily that basically confirmed that Trump was going to follow through on his pre-election promise.

So while we hoped he wouldn’t go there. He went there.

With the withdrawal of the United States from the Paris Agreement as it currently stands, many of us are wondering what this means for not only the Agreement moving forward, but for global climate action on the whole.

In this episode, I pull back the curtain on the Paris Agreement. What it is. How it works. Why Trump withdrew.  And what the U.S. pulling out means for the rest of the world and global climate action.

What Can You Do?

You don’t need to be a world leader to have a positive impact on climate action. You can get started today by reducing your own personal emissions. Reducing your food waste and eating more plant-based meals are two areas you can focus on that will significantly reduce your carbon footprint.
