Most of us feel completely powerless when it comes to climate change. We recycle, we buy better, we sign petitions - and then we watch the news and wonder if any of it matters.
Eezu Tan had the same feeling. Then in April 2022, she invited four friends over to her house in Sydney and they did something old-fashioned and a little radical: they wrote letters to their politicians. That small living-room gathering became Climate Writers - a monthly community that has now sent over 400 personalised letters to policymakers, held meetings with MPs including the Federal Climate Change and Energy Minister, and helped shift the needle on real policy issues.
In this episode, Lottie Dalziel sits down with Eezu to talk about why writing to your MP is one of the most underrated and effective forms of climate action available to ordinary Australians, how Climate Writers makes it feel easy and even fun, and what Eezu witnessed at COP30 in Brazil that renewed her hope - and her urgency.
This is the episode for anyone who wants to do more but doesn't know where to start.
