S2 E10 Coronavirus and Human Signs

In this episode we explore the global phenomenon of the coronavirus, or Covid-19, and what it means for the environment. It touches on carbon emissions, pollution, waste management and personal choices about hand sanitiser and, of course, toilet paper!!

Then we move on to a collection of interviews I recorded in late February at the Hepburn Wind Farm as we all gathered to create a human sign to communicate the need for our govt to set targets that keep global warming below 1.5 degrees.
