An Idiot's Guide to Saving The World Podcast: S2 Ep 1 - How Do We Consume Better?

Today we need about 1.7 Earths to provide the natural resources for our consumption. If we continue to consume at the rate we have, we will need 2 earths by 2030. So how do we stay within the boundaries of what our planet can take? And how are young changemakers leading the way?
In this episode, Gail Gallie and Loyiso Madinga look at Global Goal 12 and ask what it means to consume “responsibly”. They speak with Johan Rockström, one of the foremost experts on sustainable consumption and production systems and renowned for his groundbreaking ‘planetary boundaries’ framework. They are also joined by changemaker Melati Wijsen, who together with her sister at ages 12 and 10, successfully banned plastic bags in their home country Bali. Today, after a decade of campaigning, she aims to connect younger generations and provide them with the tools to make a lasting impact.
Guests:
Johan Rockström, Director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and Professor in Earth System Science at the University of Potsdam.
Melati Wijsen, full time changemaker, movement builder and founder of Bye Bye Plastic Bags and YOUTHOPIA

In 2015, world leaders agreed to 17 Global Goals (officially known as the Sustainable Development Goals or SDGs). These goals have the power to create a better world by 2030, by ending poverty, fighting inequality and addressing the urgency of climate change. Guided by the Goals, it is now up to all of us, governments, businesses, civil society and the general public to work together to build a better future for everyone.
