Manage episode 251995368 series 2521357
Our Aussie mates down under are experiencing the worst bushfires since records began. But how are the people on the ground responding? Jess & Livvy hear from a local resident to find out how climate breakdown is affecting day to day life and think about what lessons we can learn for the future. They also introduce a new section to the show.
