Shae discusses green colonialism, what it is, how we see it in climate activism and the overall nuances that come with considering solutions to confront climate change and better ourselves as activists. To get a better understanding of this, Shae interviews Tiahni Adamson from Bush Heritage Australia.

This show features music: Coming Home by Joey Leigh Wagtail and Cameleon by Ziggy Ramo.
