🎙️✨ A new episode of Seeds of Hope: a climate storytelling podcast is out NOW!
This week, we hang out with @pacific_paige , a former Top 25 Environmentalist Under 25 and Youth Environmental Changemaker Summit delegate. Paige has spent over ten years in climate advocacy spaces, from attending a UN Climate Change Conference to co-founding @swordfernco .🌿
Through her work at Sword Fern Collective, Paige is showing that arts has a means of not only bringing people physically together, but also offers a unique way to build climate and emotional resilience that folks long for. 🎨💚

Episode 2 of our Seeds of Hope: a climate storytelling podcast just dropped! 🌱
In this episode we head to see our friends at @fedurbanag , an urban farm located just off the Galloping Goose trail in Vic West. 🚲
A takeaway that sticks with us from this conversation: farmers are (and have always been!) climate adaptation specialists. And in a changing climate, with global dependancy on shipping goods across countries contributing to global emissions, we learn how we can lean into the food growing right in our own neighbourhoods and not only support, but be a PART of local urban agriculture. 🌍🥕
Catch our podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcast, Podchaser, Apple Music, Podcast Index, Listen Notes, Goodpods… and honestly wherever else you get your podcast! 🎙️
👉 And THANK YOU @storyhive for bringing this dream to life! Catch the full video episodes on Telus platforms and on STORYHIVE YouTube June 16th!
