How to Change the Environmental Narrative

Climate action. Words that can inspire a declaration of ‘I haven’t got time for that!’... as you juggle the kids, PE kits, lunch boxes and your other half, who you seem to have mislaid somewhere between the front door and the car.

A squeal of ‘Where do I even staaarrrt?’ as you cry into your pillow in overwhelmed despair.

Or a dismayed ‘What’s the point? It’s too late!’ as you cry frozen tears into your comforting ice cream.

We hear ya. We all want a better, greener, fairer future for the kiddies in our lives, but the conversation can be so gloom filled and depressing, eh? And all that doomy gloom in the room just leads to action paralysis. Well not here.

If you care about our magnificent planet and want to protect it for the next generation, but prefer to ENJOY the process, to be filled with HOPE, inspired to ACT and to CELEBRATE the actions we take, then this is the podcast for you.

It’s called Hope. Act. Thrive. by Be The Future. (or we like to call it HAT for short...and you my dear listeners are our Mad HATters...geddit?). It’s an inspirational podcast for guardians of the next generation, whether you’re a planet-conscious parent, groovy grandparent, fab foster carer, terrific teacher, awesome auntie or any other member of the extended family. All are welcome in our Mad-HATter tribe.

Join the glorious combination of Aussie and northern England accents provided by hosts Sally Giblin and Helen Hill of Be The Future.

In our second season, join us for bite-sized conversations with leading doers, thinkers and shakers in climate action. They’ll inspire you to stay optimistic, feel part of an ever-growing movement, and take actions that fit into your busy life.
