    Well, we’ve come to the end of our journey, and what an adventure it’s been!

    5. Building the foundations for a better future
    Mar 31 2021

    Having been a builder for a few years now, Barry is passionate about urban architecture. But with the temperature and our population steadily rising, is it really working in our favour?

    He’s called in Robert Puflett, principal at international architecture and design firm ThomsonAdsett to get some answers.

    Barry and Rob discuss where we’re going wrong with the current built environment, and how sustainable designs are essential for our future. https://thomsonadsett.com/

    For Owen Barbour-Woods, it really is a material world. He has started a sustainable clothing company, making protective workwear out of hemp. Owen tells Barry why we should be using hemp rather than cotton for our clothes.

    4. Unpacking the corporate perspective
    Mar 24 2021

    When it comes to climate change and emissions, what part do the big corporations play? And are they doing anything about it?


    Barry wants some answers so he’s going straight to the top at one of the biggest corporations in the world - IKEA. He sits down with Australia CEO Jan Gardberg to talk about the state of the environment, why IKEA believes waste shouldn’t be seen as waste but rather a resource, the company’s plans for the future, and kitchens made out of PET bottles.


    You might even get some tips from Jan about what he and his family are doing to reduce their carbon footprint.
