DAYS OF SUSTAINABLE(ISH) – DAY 12 ACTIVISM(ISH)

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG....!
It is with HUGE excitement that I bring you this very special mini-series of the Sustainable(ish) podcast to celebrate, and to count down to, the launch of The Sustainable(ish) Living Guide - everything you need to know to make small changes that make a big difference.
This book is pretty much the distillation of the Sustainable(ish) ethos and is being published by Bloomsbury on January 9th 2020 , and to mark such an auspicious occasion I've put together 12 shortish episodes of the podcast, one for each chapter of the book, where I have a good old chinwag with someone relevant to that chapter.

Day 12! We made it!
My goodness me, suddenly writing a 300+ page book feels like a walk in the park after 12 podcast episodes on the trot, mostly edited (and some recorded!) over the Christmas period - I need a lie down...
But not before I introduce this last episode in the series, Activism(ish).
Now I'm pretty confident saying that I think for lots of us when I say the words "Activism" and "Activist" can be a bit off-putting. A bit aggressive. I would never describe myself as an activist, but actually, when it comes down to it, we ALL have the potential to be activists just by making some different choices every day, and by taking action. In this episode I'm chatting to Jo Moseley, who @healthyhappy50 on Instagram, and is like a ray of sunshine to follow. She's another person who wouldn't describe herself as an activist, by my goodness she takes action! When she was facing an 'empty nest' as her youngest left home, she decided to set herself a challenge of paddleboarding across from coast to coast across the north of England, along canals, picking up litter as she went and raising funds for two great charities: 2 Minute Beach Clean, and Wave Project. Her enthusiasm and her passion is contagious, and if you want to brighten up what is a pretty dull grey January day as I'm sat here writing, I can't think of many better ways to do it than listen to Jo!

Enjoy!
