Welcome to the first episode of Mimazine on Air Season 3!
This week's game changer is Emma Askew - soil scientist, environmental researcher and founder of EARTH Minutes - a collaboration of environmental researchers and creatives, sharing a strong ambition to drive global change for people and the planet.
Their two fundamental values are creativity and optimism - two words you don't often associate with environmental activism and climate justice.
We talk about using optimism as a tool, dealing with climate anxiety and burn out, billionaires and dodging the blame game and the power of creativity in environmental education.
