In this episode of the Carbon Copy Podcast Running Out of Time special, the climate relay visits the world-famous Lord’s Cricket Ground, to mark Show Your Stripes Day as the baton headed through North London and then west to finish the day at Reading Climate Festival. We chat to Stuart Dunlop, Sustainability and Accessibility Manager at Lord’s, as well as Andrew Charlton-Perez, Professor of Meteorology at the University of Reading; before catching up with Carbon Copy trustees Heather and Ric as they completed their first leg. 

Also in this episode, a conversation with co-founder of The Green Runners, Nina Davies, and Harry Stow of England Athletics, about the exciting project they are collaborating on to bring sustainability to more athletics clubs around the country.
