Our Role In Preserving The Planet

In this thought-provoking episode of The People's Countryside Environmental Debate Podcast, your co-hosts Stuart 'The Wildman' Mabbutt and William Mankelow tackle two pressing questions from listeners, about food labelling and the cost of helping combat the climate and ecological emergencies.

Whether you're curious about the future of food labelling, or seeking budget-friendly ways to combat climate change, this episode promises to inform, inspire, and perhaps even challenge your thinking about our role in preserving the planet.

Join us then, for an unscripted, relatable conversation that reminds us we're all part of the natural world, not separate from it.

Today’s journey begins with a question from Milica in Podgorica, Montenegro, who asks: "Why has so much changed in food labelling for personal health but not planet health?" 

Stuart and William unpack this thought-provoking query, examining the current state of food labelling and its effectiveness in influencing consumer behaviour. They draw parallels with cigarette warning labels and discuss the potential impact of similar approaches for environmental concerns. The hosts also explore the challenges of standardising planet health labels and propose innovative solutions, including a utopian vision where suppliers take the lead in sustainable practices.

The conversation then shifts to a question from Senna in Kidlington, Oxford: 

"What if I can't afford to change my way of life but still want to help combat the climate and ecological emergencies?" 

Stuart and William offer practical, cost-free strategies for making a positive environmental impact. They emphasise the power of mindful decision-making and challenge listeners to reconsider their assumptions about the cost of eco-friendly living.
