Join another meandering, unscripted, deep conversation, as hosts Stuart and William again delve into another listener question, from Colin in Worcester, England.
"It's said Britain is a pretend democracy, and is it a disguised dictatorship. Protesters are being treated badly, yet it's said that in Myanmar, the protesters there are being treated a lot worse, so we've no right to complain. Do you agree though that whatever country, culture, or experience, protest actions prevents and breaks silence, and the power that silence has in maintaining the status quo?
We need to get ourselves off fossil fuels, and change supply chains, and the way we consume. We have the funds and the resources to live in new sustainable ways. We have most of the tech already available to us to make this change, we just don't seem to have the will to do it. It will only change with people pressure.
Increasing biomass of mature trees, and kelp farms, that absorb carbon, alongside better transport infrastructure etc is doable. Reducing food wastage can have a big impact, as then less methane will be the result of less food wastage going into landfill. If we do that, we consume less, so we produce less plastic.
We have the intelligence to do this, but do our leaders?"
