S2 01 | A life that doesn't suck
Did you make a promise to change things during lockdown?

S2 02 | Absolutely everything is my fault!
If we want to change, start small.
So Judith gets tips on how to grow a garden, make her place more eco-friendly and even has a Masterchef finalist cook her (a vegan lunch).
Despite all this she still feels guilty about the planet.
People are to blame and we can't do anything, right?! Wrong! -
S2 03 | Maybe I don't hate everyone?
Doing stuff alone can only get you so far and Judith, for once, enjoys being part of a team.
Judith helps out her in local area. She writes letters to her MP, plants trees at her local beach and learns about her area's indigenous history. -
S2 04 | People have the power
Time to get ourselves glued to something, people!
Despite sorting out her own place and helping out locally, Judith wants to do more.
She talks to a teen who sued the Environment Minister and is inspired to go on an Extinction Rebellion protest.
Who knows, the next episode might be coming from jail cell? -
S2 05 | What if we changed everything
Time to go tiny!
Judith moves into a tiny house, with, er, mixed results.
And she learns more about how food is produced and how to practise active hope in a time of existential dread.

S2 06 | Are we just completely screwed
Is the future quite so bleak? Maybe we won't all be living in bunkers and doing chin-ups.
You can hear more from Jenny Odell, the writer of How to do Nothing, Chris Johnstone, doctor and the co-founder of Active Hope & Jeff Sparrow, who talks about who's really to blame for the climate emergency.

Spot on!
That last episode with the indigenous elder was spot on. Made soooo much sense. How do we get the corporate big wigs and greedy shareholders to understand that caring the way he described is more valuable than the bottom line dollar. We are killing ourselves chasing more and more money. Thanks for this series Judith, it was good for my mind and soul.
F’ing Fantastic!
Great to have Judith back in my ears! Looking forward to the next instalment…perhaps on changing careers… Less overwhelmed and still living… ✌️💛🙏
