  From Climate Anxiety to Climate Action: How to Actually Do Something That Matters with Tegan Lerm from Project Planet

  Sep 28, 202628 minS3

  Most of us care deeply about climate change. But between the doom-scrolling, the overwhelm, and the sense that nothing we do will make a dent, it's easy to end up doing... nothing. Tegan Lerm has dedicated her career to solving exactly that problem. As co-founder and CEO of Project Planet, the not-for-profit that's become Australia's go-to guide for turning climate anxiety into real action – she's helped hundreds of thousands of Australians find their place in the solution. In this episode, Lottie sits down with Tegan to talk about why individual action still matters even when the system is broken, how to have climate conversations that actually land (without alienating the people you love), and how Build a Ballot, Project Planet's game-changing voting tool, is helping Australians connect their values to their vote. Because as Tegan will tell you, your vote isn't just a personal choice. It's a collective one. Find out more here .

  Your Receipt Is Coated in BPA: Sophia Sherwin on the Hidden Costs of Plastic

  Sep 21, 202626 minS3

  Most Australians care about plastic pollution. But caring and acting are two very different things and the gap between them is exactly where the real problem lives. In this episode, Lottie sits down with Sophia from the Ministry of the Future to talk about why awareness alone isn't enough, and what it actually takes to make plastic action feel normal, relevant, and achievable for everyday people. Through their Plastics: Unsealed campaign, Sophia and her team are taking a refreshingly different approach: instead of leading with guilt or doom, they're connecting plastic pollution to the things Australians already care about — their health, their household budgets, and the daily choices that quietly add up. They get into the hidden costs of plastic that most of us never see, why 85% of Australians being concerned about plastic hasn't yet translated into real behaviour change, and what it looks like when the narrative around plastics actually shifts from something overwhelming to something you can genuinely do something about. This one is for every listener who cares but sometimes wonders if any of it matters. Spoiler: it does.

  16,000 Chemicals & BPA's Cousins: Kal Glanznig on Australia’s Hidden Plastic Crisis

  Sep 14, 202632 minS3

  Kal Glanznig grew up surfing the beaches of Cronulla, and like most of us, he assumed Australia had dodged the worst of the global plastic crisis. Then he joined a clean-up in East Arnhem Land and everything changed. In a two-week clean-up in October 2022, Dhimurru Rangers in partnership with Sea Shepherd collected 10.4 tonnes of rubbish from just 4.5 kilometres of shoreline. That was 30% more waste than was collected over the same distance in 2018. For Kal, it was a shattering moment and the beginning of an 18-month journey across Australia that became The Plastic Country. In this episode, Lottie sits down with Kal to talk about what he found: plastic infiltrating remote First Nations beaches, turtles at Taronga Zoo on their deathbed with stomachs full of plastic, and a plastic pollution problem that Australia is almost uniquely positioned to ignore because we'd rather not look. They talk about the science, the politics, the personal stakes, and crucially the stories of hope and ordinary Australians already fighting back. This is a conversation about what it means to grow up in a plastic country. And what it means to do something about it anyway.
