  • Summary

  • In the face of climate breakdown, we tell different stories: those of local action, connectedness and hope. We celebrate the people working together at all levels to create thriving places that are safer, healthier and more sustainable. Sparking inspiration and sharing advice that help more of us get involved and enjoy the positives. From UK charity, Carbon Copy, who brought you a national collection of climate action stories told by 1,000 local organisations from across the UK; area-specific information about our changing climate and your local Climate Action Plans; and nationwide events that bring people together.


    Our latest series, launched spring 2024 and hosted by Carbon Copy's Chief Storyteller Isabelle Sparrow is an exploration of the people behind the projects. Every fortnight, a new guest or guests will share their story, and with it their infectious passion and dedication to their cause.


    Series 2, Civic Revolution, is a short three-part audiobook about the clash between our culture and wellbeing; and the power of community to resolve this conflict. It’s a rallying cry about learning from history, mending the link between people and places, and finding hope through action. Adapted from the book ‘Civic Revolution’ and narrated by its author and Carbon Copy co-founder, Ric Casale.


    Our first series, Copy This, addressed some of the challenges – as well as celebrated the triumphs – of working together to make a really big impact in the world around us. Co-hosted by Ric Casale, and podcasting veteran Amanda Carpenter (presenter of the Planet Pod Podcast), we explored ambitious projects tackling wide-ranging climate and social issues including the degradation of natural landscapes, energy supply, food security and flood risks.

    Bradford on Avon
    Jun 29 2024

    This episode of the Carbon Copy Podcast Running Out of Time special comes from the town of Bradford on Avon, in Wiltshire. Carbon Copy’s Head of Social Media, Yasmin Redfern, and Trustee Andy Knott, joined the relay crew and participants for a sustainable fashion-themed event to celebrate the baton’s arrival in the town, organised by Climate Friendly Bradford on Avon. We hear about Climate Friendly BoA from member Rowena Quantrill, and about the local Town Council environment committee and repair cafe from more enthusiastic residents. We also speak to relay participant and vegan runner Laura Briggs about her involvement with the Running On Plants campaign.


    Listen to discover the fantastic energy and enthusiasm for climate action in this vibrant Wiltshire town.


    “I think it's about opening those dialogues and having conversations about people who are participating in your sports. Not everybody wants free t -shirts. Not everybody wants free bottles of water. Just really being mindful about the little changes that you can make that will improve our environment... “The climate crisis is upon us now. We're running out of time, quite literally. And we need to do something about it now.”

    - Laura Briggs, Running on Plants

    Running Out of Time has now reached the land of dragons – Wales! In this episode of the Carbon Copy Podcast, we catch-up with the baton as it is taken from Merthyr Tydfil to Cardiff, via the Dragon’s Back in the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park. We chat to Green Runners Nina and Martin, following their epic 46km run through beautiful Welsh landscapes. Also in this episode, we hear from Richard Pollard, Head of the Schools programme at the Tree Council, who welcomed the relay to an event at St. Fagan’s Museum in Cardiff; and from Becca Clark, co-founder of Green Squirrel, the Cardiff-based social enterprise where the baton ended its day in Cardiff.

    Listen to hear the inspiring stories behind these projects.

    “The job I do is fantastic... Every day there's something new. You get this honorable opportunity to meet children from all over the country who are just so passionate, and believe so strongly in the changes that they can make. It's so lovely to see that happening over time.” - Richard Pollard, Tree Council
