With Jo McCartney of Salty Seabirds and Cottesmore St Mary Primary School, and Lizzie Gimblett of Pupils Profit.
In the penultimate episode of the Carbon Copy Podcast Running Out of Time special, the climate relay has reached the vibrant seaside city of Brighton. We meet Jo McCartney, member of the cold-water swimming group the Salty Seabirds, and teacher at Cottesmore St Mary Roman Catholic Primary School in Hove. Jo tells us how the Seabirds help to engage more people with swimming and with protecting the sea, and how environmental education is prioritised and celebrated at the school. We also hear from Lizzie Gimblett, Founder of social enterprise Pupils Profit, which is helping children to reduce waste and learn green business schools through its innovative school-based refill shop scheme.
Listen to feel inspired and motivated by the energy and enthusiasm of these eco-leaders.
