M-m-m-my corona: is this chance for a sustainable future?
So, despite Michael and Chris' desire to talk about anything else, it seemed daft that we would ignore the subject that's been at the forefront of our collective consciousness.
The shockwave that the pandemic created, whilst forcing many of us inside indefinitely, has also allowed for a moment of reflection: a chance to examine the lives we've had to abandon and muse about what we could be doing differently.
In this episode, the duo discuss (from their respective homes) their take on the personal and wider impacts of lockdown, and its impact on the collective mission for a more sustainable way of living.
Silver linings and all, but is this the chance we've been waiting for to redefine the rules and usher in a better, new normal?

Everyday Activism: Sisters Against Plastic & Extinction Rebellion (XR)
In our third episode, Eco-logical (https://thenorthernbear.co.uk/eco-logical/) focuses on those already actively involved in sustainable causes. With snippets from our latest event, where we interviewed Sisters Against Plastics and Extinction Rebellion, Eco-logical (https://thenorthernbear.co.uk/eco-logical/) examines what it means to be an activist and how people are already making a difference. You can watch the whole event here on our Youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCepM-svz1bKsgA5C9FIEGBg).
A bit about our guests...
Sisters Against Plastic (https://sistersagainstplastic.com)
While most people repeat the same New Years Resolution – go to the gym, read more, get eight hours sleep a night – two sisters from Birmingham had other priorities. Their New Year’s Resolution was to cut down on the amount of plastic in their households, and prove what can be done as a consumer by making an active choice. Come and find out how they got on!
Extinction Rebellion (XR) (https://rebellion.earth)
Our second guests are Extinction Rebellion and for better or for worse, Extinction Rebellion (XR) have been making headlines this past year. With their latest protest in the calendar for May later this year, we’ll get a glimpse inside the organisation that is apparently ‘bringing London to a halt’. Does XR’s efforts raise the profile of our need to act on climate change, or undermine the cause through their tactics?
