Listener Questions #2

Wave and Tim open up the virtual mail bag and dig into your questions. We chat about Project Drawdown, Dr Paul Hawken and regenerative farming. Dr Hawken is on a mission to remove existing carbon in the air (rather than just reducing what we're putting out in the air now). Short answer: Have a listen to our soil episode! We cover a lot of ground (lol). We also chat about the effect of dirty containers on your recycling and wonder how far we can move the waste behaviour needle. We explore why is NZ so far behind in banning single use plastics and learn what Wave's pet plastic peeve is. Also in this ep; how to combat single use plastics in the supermarket and what comes after we win that battle; How businesses can do the right thing; And is government conducting effective public information/behaviour change campaigns?
