The Net Zero Business Podcast Gareth Kane

This week I talk to the wonderful Lucy Siegle (BBC TV, Guardian, Observer and many more) on communicating Sustainability through mainstream media and her particular interests in sewage and Sustainable fashion. Laced with gossip and hard hitting realities, we discuss:
Why recycling is such a critical engagement point with the publicStanding up to intimidation from vested interest groupsThe influence of Blue Planet II on the public's perception of plasticWhy sewage has cut through in the current UK general electionEffective protesting and picking the right targetSustainability in the fashion industry and the threat of "Sheinification"Individual versus corporate responsibility (ie supply and demand)As always, The net Zero Business Podcast is brought to you by Terra Infirma Ltd – bringing Sustainability to Life

When I first started the Net Zero Business Podcast,, I knew I wanted to get Mark on as he always inspires me with his unique insights. Fresh from a cold water swimming session, he doesn't disappoint – here's what we cover:

Getting Sustainability stuff done in a large organisationDriving change as an external agentThe threat of misinformation and conspiracy theoriesFriendly fire in the green movementMark's book: You can't make money from a dead planet: the Sustainable method of driving profitsThe use of meditation in innovation and strategyMark's philosophy for Sustainability Consulting
That list is an inadequate summary of a conversation which also includes the meaning of the band name Gorillaz and the origin of the phrase "the penny drops." - do not miss this one!
