    Driving electric: Is the UK ready for EVs?

    As climate change marches on, and transport is under a spotlight for significantly contributing to carbon emissions, we’re exploring electric transport. Are we ready for it, particularly in the UK when compared to other countries? What is outstanding in electrification/decarbonisation? And is it a realistic climate ambition?    Show notes: Hinkley Point Petition: https://win.newmode.net/hinkley-point-nuclear-power-station-fish-protection https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/jan/02/uk-needs-to-ban-full-hybrid-cars-by-2030-or-face-net-zero-catastrophe https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/dec/23/do-electric-cars-really-produce-fewer-carbon-emissions-than-petrol-or-diesel-vehicles    Get in touch We're on Instagram, Bluesky, Twitter and email forwhatitsearthpod@gmail.com.

    [Listener Questions] Long-term environmental habits, recycling, and cleaning with bleach

    This week you asked us which environmental habits and green-living changes we've managed to keep up the longest, whether things actually get recycled, and whether bleach should (or shouldn't) be our go-to household cleaning product. PLUS, Sophie beefs with her neighbour over bin etiquette, and we realise that all of our listeners are called Andrew.

    Vapes: Environmental impacts & the single-use ban

    The sale of single-use vapes is set to be banned in the UK in June, and the environmental impact of e-cigarette-style devices was a key lever in the campaign that fought for this legislation. So, we're following the lifecycle of a vape and exploring the many moments in which these electronic devices can cause planetary problems.   Get in touch We're on Instagram, Bluesky, Twitter and email forwhatitsearthpod@gmail.com.

    Join the team: Could you be our Social Media Volunteer?

    We’re seeking a talented and passionate volunteer with digital marketing and editing experience to join the FWIE team in 2025! This year we're taking the pod to exciting places, but working full time in the environment sector AND making the podcast ourselves means we have little time to do the whole ‘digital’ thing. We need a hand making reels, cutting down clips, making graphics for carousels, nailing the algorithm (blah blah), and we hope in return you'll gain valuable science communication experience working as part of a tiny audio team, who have heads and hearts in the right places.  So if this sounds good to you - and you would like to volunteer with us at FWIE for just a few hours a week - we’d love to hear from you! Get in touch with some information on your experience and any ideas for getting the podcast 'out there' this year, at forwhatitsearthpod@gmail.com. Thanks a million, Emma, Sophie & Mark For What It’s Earth is hosted and produced by Emma Brisdion and Sophie Pavelle, and edited and mixed by Mark Skinner (2024).
