Everything Environment! 3 Degrees rising & Plastic Free Plans

Wednesday, 31 July 2019 - 7:00am to 8:30am

Hosted by Eiddwen, Rob and Jess [Segment times in brackets] || 3CR is proud to acknowledge the Kulin Nations as true owners and custodians of the lands from which we broadcast. We pay respect to their elders past and present and acknowledge that their sovereignty was never ceded and a treaty has yet to be signed ||

[18:15] We listen to Annie McLoughlan speaking about language and oppression at the Fair Go For Pensioners (FGFP) Conference held earlier this July.

[38:01] David Spratt talks to us about his report titled The Third Degree, co-written by Ian Dunlop. The report looks into evidence and implications of existential climate-related security risks in Australia. David talks to us about how our current climate estimations are currently predicting a 1.5 degree increase and that we are well on our way to experiencing a 3 degree rise in the near future. 

[54:35] Toby from Boomerang Alliance in conjunction with the Queensland Government and Australian Packaging Convenant Organisation have created a Plastic Free Council Event Guide in hopes of event organisers working towards zero waste usage when holding events. The guide assists event organisers with adopting the policies in the guide, with hopes of fading out single use plastic from events. Toby from the Boomerang Alliance comes in to speak to us about the guide and how others can join in on the fight towards zero waste usage at events. 

[74:40] Tilly speaks to us about last weeks protests at the Adani site and the debate surrounding lack of freedom of press in Australia.
