Conscious
‘No one can do everything, but everyone can do something.’ Sylvia Earle, Goddess of Ocean Conservation.
Welcome to Conscious. I wanted to make this podcast so that we could, in the face of a tidal wave of environmental bad news, chat to the unsung heroes, normal everyday people with one thing in common - making change happen and inspiring us in the process.
Whether it’s growing their own food, running a sustainable hotel, helping us decide which foods to put on our plate or make-up to slap on our face, or the ins and outs of heating our homes and transporting ourselves without polluting the planet, we will be meeting people from all walks of life who have one thing in common - they are all conscious of the need to change the way we think and the things we do and they have some great ideas.
We’ll rampage through the trials, tribulations and ideals of what it really means to live a life conscious of the affects we are having on our planet.
Please subscribe for some fascinating conversations, as the more we know the better.

Adventurer Alastair Humphreys: How did cycling around the world lead to micro adventures?
Our guest today left college and made a career out of becoming a round the world adventurer... not very environmentally friendly you might think, but bear with us.
Alastair Humphreys has walked across India, cycled from England to Capetown, spent six weeks on the frozen Arctic Ocean, canoed 500 miles down the Yukon and so much more. But it is only since he stopped doing all of that that he has been recognised by National Geographic, because one day, as he was cycling around the world, you know, as you do, he had an epiphany.
