What should I do to help the planet? – Dr Fiona Radford

From Ayana Elizabeth Johnson on the “How to Save a Planet” podcast. 

Whilst making changes to your lifestyle is important, especially when deciding which companies get your precious dollars, it is much more important to make institutional changes. This might mean in your workplace, in your local community, or in government. Our actions have to go beyond the individual level and everyone needs to make some contribution. So where do you start?
