The second instalment of our ramblings on sustainable parenting. This week it's the pressure to buy and the effects of social media... plus a brief cameo from a dead rat. Enjoy!

This week we talk the joys of parenting. Mostly because that's about 95% of our lives at the moment... But parent or not, we hope you can join in the conversation from your kitchen (or train carriage... or wherever you might be listening from). Organisations mentioned this week: Borro: https://borro-it.com/ The Little Loop: https://thelittleloop.com/

The third episode focussed around food, and this week it's food miles. Enjoy the sumptuous delights of our seasonal chats, including a short poetry recital from Josh (which we apologise for in advance...)

This week we're awash with chat on all things green washing (don't worry -- we start by talking about what on earth that even is). As ever, tell us your thoughts and share your experiences on the ups and downs of sustainable living...

Do you have too much stuff? Well, we do. So this week we discuss stuff about our stuff and ponder stuff we can do about it. Enjoy!

This week we've got carbon on the brain... Listen for our attempt to unpick the tricky world of 'fossil fuels' and 'footprints'. Mentioned this week: @mindful_kin https://bank.green/sustainable-eco-banks https://footprint.wwf.org.uk/ @sustainableish

Happy 2024! In this first episode of the new year, we talk about our recent trip to the USA and how we try to make travel as planet-conscious as we can. Let us know what you do when you're away from home!

Episode ten! But number one in the list of ways to do your bit for the planet. This week we talk all things food waste, and how you can put things in place to minimise what ends up in the bin. Don't forget to get in touch directly if you find yourself wanting to chip in...

'Tis the season for busyness (especially if you work in theatre!), so Beth takes on the task of a sustainable Christmas all by herself. Stand by for some super top tips on being as green as your Christmas Tree!

This week, we're talking money. And hopefully going some way to myth-busting the generalised notion that you can only be "green" if you've got someone else's life and income. As ever, we've love to hear your thoughts on ours. Join the conversation.

This week's conversation is about all things community. Josh and Beth discuss the benefits of togetherness, both socially and for the planet, and remember their own communities growing up.

A planet-focussed discussion of all things food and eating. And yes... Josh has got a cold.

It's been an interesting few weeks in the UK, so we felt we ought to talk about it. And we'd love to talk to you about it too.

This week Beth and Josh talk all things plastic (or lack thereof) and offer some plastic-free switches we can make at home. If you've made any life-swaps to reduce plastic usage, let us know on Instagram (@woe_pod) or via email (woepod@gmail.com)

In this, our first full-length episode, we talk all things second hand! From clothing to furniture to electronics, we discuss the pros of not buying new... and the challenges that might come with them.

Welcome to 'What on Earth are we doing?' A fortnightly podcast about the planet from husband and wife Josh and Beth. In this short intro episode, we offer a flavour of what's to come, and how you can get involved.
