28. Everyday Voices: A Young Persons Environmental Journey with Sophie from Lake Macquarie

"Everyday Voices" is where I take the mic into public spaces, striking up real conversations with everyday people about how they live, care for, and tread lighter on the planet. In this episode I’m talking to Sophie, a high school student who’s showing interest in sustainability and environmental change in government. She shares her early advocacy journey, which will become the building blocks for her continual path for change. Stay tuned after our chat for a short reflection on my own journey — and how we can all become more informed citizens.
