Ep 101 – Collapse Chat: We Didn't Start the Fire

Episode 101 - "We Didn't Start the Fire"

Jack from Uni Students for Climate Justice joins us to discuss the bushfires in Australia, some of the resulting political and economic fallout and ways to respond. Then, with fire and ashes on our mind, we turn our attention to the unfolding catastrophes catalyzed by COVID-19, how we are each responding as individuals, and ways to move forward in our communities.
