S2E6: Climate Change, Greenwashing & The Carbon Capture of an Elephant with Laura Dempsey

Hello hello, friends, enemies, lovers... welcome to Impressionable.

This is the podcast that uncovers all of the small and big ways in which we have been shaped by the world around us. Each week I am joined by a different guest to learn how they have been influenced throughout their lives (for better or worse).

I am joined this week by the incredible Laura Dempsey who is the founder of Volunteers for Future. We discuss the impact of elephants, climate change and if systematic changes need to take place to save our planet.

Thank you again to Laura & thanks for listening !! xx

SHOW NOTES:

Volunteers for Future is a non-profit social enterprise which collaborates, educates and innovates to better protect our people, planet and wildlife. We forge partnerships with leading conservation and environmental organisations, schools and youth groups and together with our incredible team of volunteers we help young people to better understand the challenges and empower them take positive action against the impact of climate change.

The Young Green Briton Challenge is an exciting new initiative from the Green Britain Foundation to nurture, support and celebrate youth-led, school-based climate action. The Challenge supports students aged 11-14 to learn and apply design, innovation, business and other transferable skills, empowering young people to explore local climate and sustainability issues and design entrepreneurial solutions or campaigns to address the problems they identify.

The Green Britain Foundation was founded by Dale Vince to help create a greener Britain. Dale is passionate about the next generation needing to understand climate change and the solutions to tacking this - with big emphasis around the energy we use, how we travel, what we eat and using space for nature. The Young Green Briton Challenge is key to this mission - for secondary schools to be given a voice and opportunity to work together and present practical solutions towards a greener Britain... Volunteers for Future are supporting the Challenge and they would love to hear from anyone keen to mentor young people through this process. Email [email protected] for more info or apply here.
