Smile! It's Climate Change! Ep05
Belina Raffy is on a mission to make climate change… funnier. She teaches Sustainable Stand-up, in order to enable people to be able to talk about the serious topic of climate change with humour, in order to more effectively engage our citizens and encourage behaviour change. We’ve been friends for a few year so our conversation about her amazing work is peppered with goofing around. We’ll talk about failed advocacy techniques, angry Australians, making vegans nicer, whataboutism and how to shine bright, giggly light into the dark crevasses of the global climate change narrative. This episode is, in a way, a continuation of the previous interview with my go-to guy on sustainability, Canadian author Chris Turner. So often when I record these podcasts, there is a knock on effect that leads me to another guest. This time it led me to Berlin to meet with Belina. - Sustainable Stand-up: https://www.sustainablestandup.com/ - The Book: "Using Improv to Save the World - and Me": https://www.maffick.com/#the-book - Music by Phil Creamer from www.hereonout.ca
