[Listener Questions] Rights of nature, the sustainability of the London Underground, and lobbying councils

All aboard the Lizzie Line! In this week's listener questions episode, we're on a journey to understand how eco friendly the London tube might be, and whether newer developments like the Elizabeth Line are being built more sustainably. Plus, we ask how we can push our councils to reduce light pollution, and explore ⁠how giving nature rights can help us deal with environmental issues.   Get in touch We're on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/forwhatitsearthpodcast/], Bluesky [https://bsky.app/profile/forwhatitsearth.bsky.social], and email forwhatitsearthpod@gmail.com [forwhatitsearthpod@gmail.com].

Gardening: How can we adapt to or mitigate climate change? [From Yeo Organic Valley Garden Festival]

We took For What It's Earth to the heart of the Yeo Valley's first ever Garden Festival to chat about something every gardener’s thinking about: climate change. From exploring the power of ponds and trees as temperature control systems, to tips for building resilient soil, and planting for biodiversity, we explore how our gardens can adapt to, as well as fight back against, a changing world. While still being a beautiful, joyful space, of course!   Get in touch We're on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/forwhatitsearthpodcast/], Bluesky [https://bsky.app/profile/forwhatitsearth.bsky.social], and email forwhatitsearthpod@gmail.com [forwhatitsearthpod@gmail.com].

Nuts: Superfood, climate problem, or sustainable solution?

Shell we go a little bit nuts together? This food group is having a bit of a *moment*; equally at home in our diets and social media feeds. We're told they're fantastic for our health, but they can also cause environmental damage. It's only natural that Emma and Sophie should investigate. Plus, squirrel season is in full swing: Many tasty morsels are in season right now in the UK (think hazel nuts, walnuts), and some inedible nuts that still have brilliant natural uses, like horse chestnut (also known as a conker). Yes, there will be foraging tips in this episode.   Get in touch We're on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/forwhatitsearthpodcast/], Bluesky [https://bsky.app/profile/forwhatitsearth.bsky.social], and email forwhatitsearthpod@gmail.com [forwhatitsearthpod@gmail.com].
