Drive Time Show Podcast 08-09-2026: Food security & Sustainable living

Join our hosts for Tuesday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Food Security: Are We Prepared?’ and ‘Sustainable Living: How Can We Waste Less and Live Better?’ Food Security: Are We Prepared? How secure is our food supply when climate change, global conflicts, disrupted trade and rising prices can all affect what reaches our tables? For many families, the impact can mean higher costs and difficult choices about what they can afford to eat. Join us as we consider how Islamic teachings on gratitude, moderation, avoiding waste and caring for those in need can guide our relationship with food. Sustainable Living: How Can We Waste Less and Live Better? When something is trending, we’re often quick to jump on the bandwagon. But what happens when the trend fades away? Where does all that fashion, tech etc go? Join us on this show as we explore how we can embrace a more sustainable lifestyle, one that helps us save money, conserve valuable resources, reduce unnecessary consumption, and keep less waste out of landfill.
