It's a big question, but is always worth asking anyway; just what do we do about Eco Ableism, and what can we also do to help tackle environmental issues? This episode is a rapid fire conversation starter about just what to do and how to go about it - all the while staying hopeful about the state of the planet.
Today's guests are:
Elizabeth Wright, disability ally ship consultant, speaker and editor of Conscious Being Magazine.
Anna Turns, a environmental freelance journalist and journalism lecturer. Anna's first book, Go Toxic Free, is out now.
