Waveney and Tim have decided it's time to celebrate some environmental successes. We discuss Colmar Brunton's recent polling that shows pretty much all groups in New Zealand (except white middle class men) are prioritising Climate Change as a TOP issue. The tide of public consciousness is changing - rapidly!
We also dig into the success of defeating Acid Rain, a terrible coal-caused phenomenon that dominated news cycles and the public imagination through the 1970s, 80s and 90s before scientific research and good old diplomacy actually got on top of it!
Lastly, we celebrate Happen Films - a kiwi film production house that exclusively make environmental documentaries that are solutions-focused, inspiring and hopeful. Their latest title, Fools & Dreamers: Regenerating a Native Forest is the amazing story of botanist Hugh Wilson who regenerates forests in the south island using the much hated 'weed', gorse!
