Power Down, Planet Up

My intended audience for this podcast is everyday listeners, like students, families, and anyone who wants to make a positive environmental impact but may not know where to start. I chose the topic of reducing electrical pollution because it’s a simple but powerful way people can take action in their daily lives. The podcast format works well for this message because it’s short, engaging, and easy to understand, allowing listeners to absorb practical tips in just a couple of minutes. By using a conversational tone and clear examples, the format makes sustainability feel accessible rather than overwhelming, encouraging small changes that add up to big results.
