Carbon Copy Podcast

By: Carbon Copy
  • Summary

  • In the face of climate breakdown, we tell different stories: those of local action, connectedness and hope. We celebrate the people working together at all levels to create thriving places that are safer, healthier and more sustainable. Sparking inspiration and sharing advice that help more of us get involved and enjoy the positives. From UK charity, Carbon Copy, who brought you a national collection of climate action stories told by 1,000 local organisations from across the UK; area-specific information about our changing climate and your local Climate Action Plans; and nationwide events that bring people together.


    Our latest series, launched spring 2024 and hosted by Carbon Copy's Chief Storyteller Isabelle Sparrow is an exploration of the people behind the projects. Every fortnight, a new guest or guests will share their story, and with it their infectious passion and dedication to their cause.


    Series 2, Civic Revolution, is a short three-part audiobook about the clash between our culture and wellbeing; and the power of community to resolve this conflict. It’s a rallying cry about learning from history, mending the link between people and places, and finding hope through action. Adapted from the book ‘Civic Revolution’ and narrated by its author and Carbon Copy co-founder, Ric Casale.


    Our first series, Copy This, addressed some of the challenges – as well as celebrated the triumphs – of working together to make a really big impact in the world around us. Co-hosted by Ric Casale, and podcasting veteran Amanda Carpenter (presenter of the Planet Pod Podcast), we explored ambitious projects tackling wide-ranging climate and social issues including the degradation of natural landscapes, energy supply, food security and flood risks.

  • All Nature: Heal The Wild
    Sep 20 2024

    In this, the first episode of the Carbon Copy Podcast’s latest series, All Nature, we meet Jan Stannard and Dan Hill, of charity Heal Rewilding, at their first site on the outskirts of Frome in Somerset. We reveal the worrying state of nature in the UK, and how Jan and her colleagues felt compelled to address this. We discover the huge ambition of Heal Rewilding to create nature rich environments in every county of England, and we hear about the amazing network of different people and organisations working to renew and restore nature across the UK.


    "...the only way for nature to recover is for it to have more room, more space dedicated to it. It can't just be the edges of farmland, but dedicated spaces that are new are fundamental to nature's recovery. What we have to remember is England, out of 240 countries and territories in the world, England is in 234th place where one is best. So the state of nature in England is absolutely on the floor. This can't happen soon enough." - Jan Stannard, Heal Co-Founder

We meet Lizzie Gimblett, founder of Pupils Profit, which helps children to set up and manage eco-refill shops at their schools; Richard Pollard of the Tree Council who works to embed learning about nature into classrooms and education settings; Jo Pettifer of the Ashden-led Let’s Go Zero programme and Michelle Parkes of Earth Cubs who provide climate change and sustainability education to very young children.


    Listen to hear:


    • How children are helping spread the word about reuse to their families by running Pupils Profit refill shops at school.
    • About the many different ways the Tree Council is connecting children with trees and nature in education settings.
    • How Ashden’s Let’s Go Zero programme is providing climate change education and helping schools to reduce their emissions – whatever stage they are at on their climate journey.
