What inspired us to create this podcast? And why do we hope it inspires you? You’ll find out here, in our short introduction.
Laura Kits is a singer, songwriter, painter, freelance consultant and business writer. She is a climate activist and spokesperson in a movement called Extinction Rebellion.
Extinction rebellion has grown from a small group of people to a competent, powerful and fun social movement with hundreds of local groups in almost sixty countries. They are a diverse group united by a deep concern for life on Earth and how all life will be impacted by the climate and ecological crisis we are currently facing.
In this episode, Laura talks about disruptive civil disobedience and the actions that groups like Extinction Rebellion are taking to draw attention to the climate crisis. She talks about what corporations and governments are doing—and more specifically, what they aren’t doing—to address the climate crisis.
Laura shares her own reasons for becoming a climate activist and talks about actions we can all take to bring about meaningful change.
