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 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, 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.

In episode two of Civic Revolution, we sift for clues in our past that shape the future. Throughout our history, we have been converting energy from one form to another and changing the world around us in remarkable new ways. We have lived by the stories we are told, and reshape the world by the new stories we tell.
Taken together, we see how these clues point towards a civic revolution where we have the opportunity to create something better and mend the links between people and place that have been broken.
Adapted from the original book, Civic Revolution, and narrated by its author, Ric Casale.

In this audiobook episode, we look at the predicament of humankind: the quest for endless economic expansion in a world of finite resources and planetary boundaries. We don’t need to look far to see the broken links between people and places, past and present, imagination and reality.
We dispel some of the myths that are putting us in jeopardy, rediscovering the power we have to tell different stories that can reinvent the places where we live and lead to a better future.

Hello! Welcome to Copy This - the first series of the Carbon Copy Podcast - where we throw the spotlight on big thinking local climate action. In this episode, the inspiration is provided by Energy Garden, a co-operative which has helped over 130 communities create gardens at overground railway stations across London. Not only has this re-connected residents with nature and food growing, increasing local pride in the process, it’s also improved the wellbeing of passengers plus delivered a whole range of community benefits valued at an estimated £11.35 of social return for every £1 spent.
Join Agamemnon Otero, CEO of Energy Garden, and Charlotte Whitfield, Customer Service Director for Arriva Rail London, to discover how they’ve grown community energy and their keys to success, including how they’ve utilised solar power as an income generator to fund this innovative work.

Running Out Of Time

Hello! The longest non-stop relay ever attempted is starting in October 2022, over 7200km from Glasgow in Scotland to Sharm El-Sheikh in Egypt, in the name of climate action. Community leaders, school children and neighbours will pass a relay baton hand-to-hand across 18 countries and show the world what we can achieve if we work together. An extraordinary challenge, requiring extraordinary effort, to achieve extraordinary change.
Listen to Danny Bent, cofounder of The World Relay, about what we hope to accomplish! What better way to represent the unity and strength we wish to see from today's leaders than an inclusive relay linking together thousands of inspiring climate action projects?
Spoiler alert: We did it and made a world record at the same time!!! The United Nations' convention, UNFCCC, recognised our effort as one of the most significant events in the build up to climate summit. Over 4,500 people participated across 18 countries. We drew huge media attention, with a UK reach of over 17 million and millions more across the entire route. And we delivered an important climate message, endorsed by 825,760 people, to the leaders at the global climate summit in Egypt (COP27), urging more support to help people tackle the climate crisis locally where they live.

Fixing Our Throwaway Economy
Carbon Copy Podcast
06/08/22 • 29 min
Hello! Welcome to the last episode of Copy This (the first season of the Carbon Copy Podcast) where we throw the spotlight on big thinking, local climate action.
When was the last time you tried to get your mobile phone or laptop repaired? Chances are that it was impossible but all too easy to buy a replacement instead. This year, the weight of electronic waste produced globally will equal that of the Great Wall of China because repair is so difficult and obsolescence is built into many electronic goods, by design.
But how is repairing and reuse even possible when the throwaway culture is so deeply rooted in our economy? The Fixing Factory is a new project with a fresh approach that not only makes repair and reuse a reality, it’s also applying lateral thinking so electronic ‘waste’ can benefit local communities in as many ways as possible.
In this episode, Fiona Dear of The Restart Project and Emma Beal of West London Waste Authority describe The Fixing Factory’s drive to not only give broken laptops a new lease of life, but to use them to tackle digital inequality, train the fixers of the future, provide training and employment opportunities, as well as create a project blueprint that could be replicated around the UK.

Hello! This week we’re off to Hull to discover how the Living With Water partnership is working with the community to build a “blue green city of the future.”
We’re joined by two key members of the partnership’s team - Lee Pitcher and Andrew Barron - who share insights into the challenges and triumphs of flood mitigation and adaptation in one of the UK’s most at-risk areas.
Listen in to hear how personal experiences of homelessness and the destruction that flooding can bring, led to our speakers' shared passion for this project. Learn how the people of Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire are collaborating and co-creating to turn the threat of too much water into an opportunity to improve and develop green spaces within the area. Be inspired by a project which spans generations and focuses on working with nature, rather than fighting it.

Achieving the Impossible Dream
Carbon Copy Podcast
03/09/22 • 37 min
Hello! Welcome to the very first episode of our first series, Copy This, where we travel to Scotland to learn how a community raised £millions to buy 5,000 acres of local land for a new nature reserve.
In this episode, hosts Ric Casale and Amanda Carpenter are reunited, having last met at COP26, moments after Ric had completed a gruelling 500-mile, 26-day walk from London.
During that journey, Ric had the opportunity to meet our podcast guests, Jenny Barlow and Mairi Telford Jammeh, of the Tarras Valley Nature Reserve in Langholm.
We hear about the incredible passion this small community has for protecting wildlife and restoring the area to its natural state. About how an unexpected opportunity to purchase a large swathe of land for the nature reserve sparked a fundraising mission that ignited people not only across Scotland, but globally as well. We learn about some of the characters and relationships that made it possible to raise the £millions needed – and about the plans to raise more and continue to grow the protected area.
Listen now, to discover the power that people can have when they come together to achieve an impossible dream.
