I love listening to this show, especially as an American. You realize how much your national situation matters when thinking about climate change when you learn about what Europeans, and especially Germans, are doing to address the climate crisis. Always clear, informative and inspiring!!!

I love learning. In fact, I make it a point to learn at least one new thing a day (fact: it keeps you young). DW is a great help & resource in this regard. Who could guess the process of refining sugar began in India 2500 years ago? Looking forward to the next episode, as always!

Living Planet is a great program for opening eyes (and ears, of course) to so many environmental issues. Each topic is well researched and presented in a calm and thoughtful manner. If you have questions about current issues or are eager to learn about new ideas, this program is for you. It's also great to share.
Timely and more inclusive.
