Welcome back to the podcast. I'm getting ready to launch the fifth season of We Are Carbon at the moment, but this episode is a little bonus, coming slightly sooner, because really, it's just been too long!This Episode:I had the pleasure of speaking with Helen Meech, executive director of The Climate Coalition. Their campaign 'The Great Big Green Week' has been building rapid momentum year to year, with millions of people across the UK anticipated to take action for their communities, nature and the climate this week (6th - 14th June 2026).It felt like an opportunity to dig in to some of my own pondering around 'can small steps taken locally, really have the power to create the changes we want to see'?I'll leave you to take your own conclusions around that as you listen through.And I hope you have a fabulous Great Big Green Week if you're taking part!External Links:The Climate Coalition: https://www.theclimatecoalition.org/Great Big Green Week: https://www.greatbiggreenweek.com/
