Blue Earth Podcast
A podcast from Blue Earth, a movement and community dedicated to driving positive action for our natural world. Since our inaugural event in Bristol in 2021, where we brought together changemakers, business leaders, creators, and activists, the Summit has evolved into a yearly gathering that inspires sustainable living, protects our natural spaces, and promotes well-being.
In October 2024, we welcomed thousands more to London for three incredible days of talks, workshops, and outdoor experiences around these core themes. This podcast brings you the most impactful conversations and insights from Blue Earth Summit 2024.
