<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style= "mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" xml:lang="EN-US">A warming and drying climate is connected to the increased frequency, severity and duration of extreme wildfire weather conditions in Australia. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal">And in the months leading up to Summer, Australian’s are reminded of bushfire season and advised by government and community organisations to prepare.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Generally, the recommendations are for people who live in bushfire prone areas to prepare their homes and ensuring they have an evacuation plan. <span lang="EN-US" style= "mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" xml:lang="EN-US">But</span> I wanted to find out how our natural spaces are being prepared through appropriate land management. <span style= "mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal">So, I reached out to the team at <a href= "https://firesticks.org.au/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Firesticks</a>, a national Indigenous network that works with communities and organisations to help restore the cultural wellbeing and identity of their country.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">I had the pleasure of speaking to Thungutti, Bundjalung and Mualgal man and Lead <span style= "mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-theme-font: major-fareast;">Fire</span> Practitioner Leeton Lee. Leeton works across Southeast Queensland and brings a wealth of traditional knowledge to this episode on the climate and community benefits of cultural land management.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">We had a great conversation discussing Country of Fire, where timed burns are used to improve the health of the land plus how local land management plays a critical role to reduce the risk of bushfires, improve natural areas for endangered animals and when it comes to reforestation, why plant selection is so important.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">It was also a personal reminder of the incredible value in Indigenous voices whose traditional knowledge can help us rethink current climate policies and adapt to what is truly suitable for our survival.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">I hope you enjoy the episode.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">You can learn more about Firesticks through their <a href="https://firesticks.org.au/">website</a>, <a href= "https://firesticks.raisely.com/">donate</a> or follow them on their socials below:</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href= "https://www.facebook.com/firesticksalliance?_rdr" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Facebook</a></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href= "https://www.instagram.com/firesticks.alliance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram</a></p> <p class="MsoNormal">This audio was edited by Peter Magill. </p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p>

Creating an Ecological Afterlife with Recompose

<p class="MsoNormal">The funeral industry is one that has remained largely unchanged with many people seeking sustainable alternatives to traditional burials or cremation.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Current end of life practices can have a significant effect on the environment from energy use to greenhouse gases and soil pollution.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">So, one of the alternatives will be introduced by my guest today who is Katrina Spade, founder and CEO of the world’s first human composting company, <a href= "https://recompose.life/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Recompose</a>.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Founded in 2017, Recompose describes the process of human composting as natural organic reduction. Human composting has a host of environmental benefits which supports a return to nature and a reduction in carbon and energy.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">At the time of recording, Maine became the 12th state in the U.S. to legalise human composting however it is not yet available in Australia. </p> <p class="MsoNormal">But at the heart of today's conversation it's about more than a green solution, we’re exploring the opportunity for more choice with Recompose respectfully challenging the funeral industry and current practices. </p> <p class="MsoNormal">I hope you enjoy the episode.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">You can learn more about Recompose on their <a href="https://recompose.life/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">website</a> or follow them on <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/recomposelife/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Instagram</a> for updates.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">This audio was edited by Peter Magill.</p>

With a population of approximately 26 million, on average, Australian’s buy 56 brand new items <span style= "font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; word-spacing: 0px;"> of clothing a year.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">So here to help me explore how we can all improve our fashion footprint is communication and brand specialist <a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" href= "https://www.instagram.com/tiffdarke/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Tiffanie Darke</a>.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">With over 30 year’s experience in editorial sensibility and commercial strategy, Tiffanie is the co-founder of Ibiza’s luxury sustainability fashion boutique, <a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" href= "https://www.instagram.com/agora.ibiza/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">AGORA</a> and the creator of <a style= "color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" href="https://ruleoffive.substack.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rule of Five</a> – a global movement where participants only buy five fashion items a year.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Tiffanie and I discuss what makes a garment truly sustainable from fabric and production to sale.
