  • Summary

  • In the face of climate breakdown, we tell different stories: those of local action, connectedness and hope. We celebrate the people working together at all levels to create thriving places that are safer, healthier and more sustainable. Sparking inspiration and sharing advice that help more of us get involved and enjoy the positives. From UK charity, Carbon Copy, who brought you a national collection of climate action stories told by 1,000 local organisations from across the UK; area-specific information about our changing climate and your local Climate Action Plans; and nationwide events that bring people together.


    Our latest series, launched spring 2024 and hosted by Carbon Copy's Chief Storyteller Isabelle Sparrow is an exploration of the people behind the projects. Every fortnight, a new guest or guests will share their story, and with it their infectious passion and dedication to their cause.


    Series 2, Civic Revolution, is a short three-part audiobook about the clash between our culture and wellbeing; and the power of community to resolve this conflict. It’s a rallying cry about learning from history, mending the link between people and places, and finding hope through action. Adapted from the book ‘Civic Revolution’ and narrated by its author and Carbon Copy co-founder, Ric Casale.


    Our first series, Copy This, addressed some of the challenges – as well as celebrated the triumphs – of working together to make a really big impact in the world around us. Co-hosted by Ric Casale, and podcasting veteran Amanda Carpenter (presenter of the Planet Pod Podcast), we explored ambitious projects tackling wide-ranging climate and social issues including the degradation of natural landscapes, energy supply, food security and flood risks.

    The Finish Line
    Jul 5 2024

    In this, the final episode of the Carbon Copy Podcast Running Out of Time special, the team join the relay for the finale in London. We chat to ultrarunner David Bone co-founder of Camino Ultra, Jacob Heitland of Newham Council, Fiona Jones of the IFS Cloud Cable, Andrew Griffiths from PlanetMark and Isaac Beevor from Climate Emergency UK, as we make our way towards Parliament Square for the Finish Line. We also hear for a final time from relay crew members Harry Hughes, Rohan Date and Roisin McDonough; as well as Running Out of Time co-founders Dan Thompson and Jamie Hay.


    Listen, as we celebrate the end of this incredible month-long, 2,436 km people-powered journey to deliver a message to politicians across all parties, and now in particular to the new Government in Westminster:


    We call for commitment to cutting emissions, restoring nature and helping those most affected by climate change. We are united for people, climate and nature - and we are running out of time.

    Brighton
    Jul 3 2024

    In the penultimate episode of the Carbon Copy Podcast Running Out of Time special, the climate relay has reached the vibrant seaside city of Brighton. We meet Jo McCartney, member of the cold-water swimming group the Salty Seabirds, and teacher at Cottesmore St Mary Roman Catholic Primary School in Hove. Jo tells us how the Seabirds help to engage more people with swimming, and with protecting the sea, and how environmental education is prioritised and celebrated at the school. We also hear from Lizzie Gimblett, Founder of Pupils Profit, which is helping children to reduce waste and learn green business schools through its innovative school-based refill shop scheme.


    Listen to feel inspired and motivated by the energy and enthusiasm of these eco-leaders.

    Portsmouth
    Jul 2 2024

    The Running Out of Time baton has now reached the south coast of England, and in this episode of this Carbon Copy Podcast special, we meet Elly Toyer of Portsmouth International Port, Kristina Downey of the city council and Clare Seek of Share (Portsmouth). We learn how this coastal city is leading the way in terms of making maritime greener, and we even hear from the local climate choir, who sang as the baton was carried through the port!


    Listen, to discover the successes and the challenges of climate action in Portsmouth.


    “I love what community can do to bring people together, to do practical things which help the planet and help each other. I discovered Repair Cafes – the first one was founded in the Netherlands 15 years ago this October – and thought this seems such a good idea, why haven't we got one in Portsmouth? “So I decided to set up a little Facebook group and plugged it on every community group in the city that I knew, and in 24 hours, I had 200 people... Either ones to help or, [people saying] ‘Yes, oh my goodness, I want this because I've got X, Y, and Z and I'd love someone to help me fix it.’ “So, you know, I couldn't then not make it happen!”

    - Clare Seek, Share (Portsmouth)
