24.20 - 34.00 different ways of relating to the events in one's life;

34.40 - 41.00 how to find your purpose and how your life changes when you find it - or when it finds you.

One small company in the Netherlands says its purpose is to transform oil and gas industry. Tine Bieber, who works for the company, tries to persuade Daze Aghaji of Extinction Rebellion, a radical environmental group, that it is possible to transform this highly polluting industry. Hosted by Dina Newman. 

A trick question from a listener: "If everyone lives their life purpose, who will sweep the streets?" has inspired Dina Newman and Tine Bieber to talk to an anti-litter activist Daniella Levine. Daniella embraces an anarcho-communist approach of radical responsibility towards litter: "You just pick it up!"  We also discuss a deposit return scheme and other strategies for tackling litter.
