Great discussions

Every episode is packed with informative discussions. I'm learning new things from your show, such as climate change projects and activities that I would not have known about otherwise. I’m also getting a lot of useful tips that I can share with my friends, family and my local community.

Great and informative show!

Your recent episode on plant-based protein was extremely informative. Knowing that plant-based meat is far more environmentally friendly than raising animals, it is unquestionably the better option in the long run. This episode, I believe, is a significant step toward making people more aware that this is a viable option for transitioning to a healthier, more sustainable, and environmentally friendly lifestyle, especially during this generation where people are more environmentally conscious.
