Climactic Returns!

Australia to Canada without flying - Sacha Shaw's odyssey

COULD YOU TRAVEL HALFWAY AROUND THE GLOBE, WITHOUT GETTING ON A PLANE? I met Sacha in the enviromental movement while attending (and recording) at protests in Naarm/Melbourne. Sacha's been on a journey since leaving Australia earlier this year, as they relocate to Canada. But they're doing this without flying. We recently exchanged audio messages where we talked about the trip, and Sacha shared their experiences. Me while out walking or on my workday commute, Sacha from a rooftop in Lucknow, India. Listen in, and learn about the why, what and how of this voyage of many months - which is only now about halfway over.

Simon Moore | Unite to survive at The Big One, London

On the 1st January 2023, Extinction Rebellion (XR) made a shock announcement titled simply ‘We Quit’. After years of public disruption raising the alarm on the climate and ecological emergency, they had decided to shift their focus into mobilising larger numbers of people – to unite to survive. That led XR and hundreds of other campaign groups and NGOs to bring 100,000 people on to the streets outside Parliament in London, 21-24 April, for ‘The Big One’. Join climate justice activist Simon Moore as he explores the protest and meets seasoned activists and newbies, mothers and grandmothers, filmmakers and singers, young and old. Find out why they are at The Big One and what they think the future holds for climate activism. Charlie Gardner explains why scientists need to get onto the streets and stop hoping that scientific reports alone will solve anything. Orchestrated Discontent perform to spectators at the London Marathon and ask people to speak up for others, for Black lives, for trans lives, and for restoring Africa. Holly gives her thoughts on her partner Marcus Decker’s recent sentence of two years and seven months in jail for protesting with Just Stop Oil. And Rich Felgate shares his expectations for the ‘ecosystem of resistance’ that we could see from the climate movement in the coming years.
