“If we don't protect these spaces, our sports are at risk. Our triathlons, our marathons, whatever it may be: that outdoor sport would be at risk as we go forward... Green space is becoming a premium and it shouldn't be. It should be something that every person has an entitlement to.”

- Bill Downie, Streetly Academy

“We're really hopeful that it will be a real memorable thing for (the children), and help them promote their views on climate, but also obviously then have an impact on their families as well”

Episode 8

Tuesday, June 18, 2024 • Duration 18:32

In this episode of the Carbon Copy Podcast Running Out of Time special, we follow the climate relay across the midlands, starting in Nottingham and ending up in the Staffordshire town of Tamworth. We meet Dr Sarah Maloy, founder of Shop Zero, a refill store in Nottingham city centre; Chris Common, who works in Nottingham City Council’s climate change team and Winter Paralympian Anna Turney, who works with charity SnowBuddies to help people with disabilities get involved with winter sports.

Listen to this Nottingham & Tamworth-based episode to hear stories of ambition, inspiration and dedication.

“It's always been a response to the community and what they've needed and wanted in Nottingham. The big thing around this is any of us can jump online and try and get a lot of these products, but there's so much greenwashing that goes on... “So the benefit here is that we have a lot of knowledge about the products. I can talk about the supply chain. I know where they've come from because also because I'm interested in sustainability. Sustainability isn't just about the environment, it's also about social issues. I don't want any of my products to have come from people that are underpaid or undervalued in their work. So that's an important part of it as well.”

Dr Sarah Maloy, Shop Zero

Castleford

Episode 5

Saturday, June 15, 2024 • Duration 14:09

This episode of the Carbon Copy Podcast Running Out of Time Special we’re in Castleford, in the borough of Wakefield. We meet Adam Savage, Climate Change Project Manager at Wakefield Council, and Lorna Malkin, CEO of Castleford Heritage Trust, which owns Queen’s Mill, a fantastic heritage building and community hub in the town.

Listen to hear more about the sustainability initiatives at the mill and across the borough of Wakefield.

“When the mill closed down in 2011, people were saying to us, ‘oh, you've got to save the mill. We don't want it to be demolished. We don't want it to be turned into apartments. You've got to save the mill.’ It's one of the few heritage buildings in the town. “Castleford has got this huge history, but there's not much of it in the town left to see. So it was really important to save it as a building, but also then to make it work for the community, to have it as a resource for the community. “We have thousands of people visiting here. It has become very much a part of the life of the town and across generations from cradle to grave.”

- Lorna Malkin, CEO Castleford Heritage Trust
