  • Summary

  • Please note: this series contains adult language and themes.

    Actor and environmental campaigner Cate Blanchett and clean technology expert Danny Kennedy explore eco-anxiety, optimism and hope in the face of climate change.

    The two long-term friends take listeners around the world to hear from the most exciting green energy initiatives addressing the climate crisis. From a Navajo solar farm in the Arizona desert, to renewable technology in Filipino fishing, and ideas that could transform the global fashion industry; Cate and Danny offer uplifting stories of ingenuity and resilience.

    Along the way, they interview some of the world’s leading authors and thought leaders to discuss how humankind can tackle our biggest environmental challenge. It’s the podcast about climate change that gives you hope…hopefully.

The crisis is overwhelming. There are solutions.

The climate crisis can be overwhelming. People can disengage. Examples of local action that work and ideas that are doable at a local and broader community level are important. This podcast does this. Two amazing communicators makes it super engaging. Thank you Cate, Danny and team.

Finally positive stories around climate changes

Thank you for this wonderful podcast and please do note, we need this. As we watch our world burn and drown, change is possible, the crisis can be averted when people work together. I love the underlying message that small things add up, it's like the steam that starts as a trickle at the top of the mountain and becomes a river at the foothills. We can all do our part. Small actions add up. My personal ethos is to impact less and that every good decision with a sustainable theme is a win. Chose where you shop, select products with less packing, bring your own bags and cups, make and grow at home, upcycle, recycle and reuse.

Great yourself to the scintillating company of Card Blanchett and environmental activist and entrepreneur Danny Kennedy in this hopeful approach to all the positive ‘stuff’ happening around the world to address and overcome the climate crisis.

Danny Kennedy is Awesome!

I saw Danny give the best talk at NorCal Solar! Also what he has done with solar incubators. Nice to have a movie star friend helping him get the message to laypeople. Good interactions, even from a Prince! Solar saves the world!

Down right incredible!!!

It's the ultimate climate informative "TED talk" but with better voices and a side of eco-friendly humour. Being a South African dealing with something we call "Loadshedding" ( Google it... Make sure to include South African in that sentence or else you may end up searching something you REALLY did not want to see ). That being said I am always really interested to see how other parts of the world are trying to make a change, creating that conversation and taking action. Please make a season three!!!!

Inspiring AF!

Can’t emphasize enough how much it warmed my heart to hear Cate Blanchett drop F bombs! As a fellow mother with eco anxiety I found it super appropriate. I would love to watch a mini series on this, especially the case studies of people inventing incredible solutions to the climate crisis!

Recurve

One of the most thought through and extensive podcast series for anyone who’s curious about problem and solution landscape in climate tech. Rich with real examples of companies tackling it.

Thank you!

avoid at all costs

a terrible listen. Baseless claims and scare tactics with zero facts. Sadly just like the pandemic this is the next thing they are trying to push and scare you with.

Sparks curiosity, hope, and new ideas!

Danny and Cate are great together. I feel their conversations honestly address eco-anxiety and introduce innovations I’d no idea existed. (For me) each episode inspired a deeper dive into new territories like the route for infinite recycling of lithium car batteries, the educational potential of London’s platform gardens, how pump jacks can be retrofit to augment solar power, and the poetic justice of Navajo nations becoming solar farmers. It’s dense information but the stories are especially engaging mixed with Imogene Heap’s original soundscapes. You might even want to listen more than once. So, if you have ever shut off the news screaming, “Are we doing ANY#*%@!THING right to slow climate change!?” Then this show is for you.
