If you met an Alien and you had to show them three places in the world, to explain the human race (in terms of the biodiversity and climate emergency for this episode :) where would you take them, what would you show them? Looking at our actions and their consequences from an Alien's point of view offers us a chance to step outside of ourselves and our own lives to see without our lenses and filters of daily life what we are doing to Planet Earth. The three places I would take an Alien are the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, on a kayak and jungle trek through Wilderness in South Africa and Iguazu Falls and the Itaipu Hydroelectric Dam on the border between Argentina and Paraguay. Where would you take an Alien? Atul's website, Alien Places Podcast, Instagram And you can follow Namene's work through our Instagram and Website :)

This episode is the first of many I will be recording to talk to people from across Africa about their experiences of COVID-19 and how the Black Lives Matter movement makes them feel. Africa is resource-rich, but the majority of its people do not get to experience the benefits of the fruits from this beautifully diverse and massive continent. Join me on this journey to discover how people in Africa are tackling the global myriad of crises and join the Solutions For Climate Revolution mission to help protect our beautiful planet and people. We recently re-branded! Check out our new website Namene Solar's website and our Instagram for info on how to simultaneously reverse global-warming and inequality. (: Thank you, Leah, Alistair and James!

Celebrating World Environment Day I would like to share with you some horrific facts - but also some awesome solutions to reverse human-induced warming. Its is a challenge to hear the hard facts about how humans are destroying the planet. However, it is enabling to hear how we each and every one of us creates demand. COVID-19 has demonstrated businesses cannot thrive without our demand we are the fuel that keeps their engines going. We have seen how quickly businesses can adapt to change when there is an emergency. In this biodiversity and climate emergency; let us all use our power of demand to make businesses adapt in ways that naturally result in a prosperous and sustainable future.
