Dying To Help The Planet




The People's Countryside Environmental Debate Podcast show

Summary: <p>"Stuart, you say you dye your hair to prompt conversations about the climate crisis. Does the fact you are causing pollution doing that make you a hypocrite?”</p> <p>Stuart and William undertake quite a philosophical meandering chat around the above question, from Robin in Furness Vale, Derbyshire, England (Sorry Robin, William called you Rob near the start of this episode).</p> <p>As always, they expand and talk about the big issues, and during this episode they touch upon how we do a lot of non-essential things in our lives. How some people will only listen to an alternative point of view about sustainability if the person presenting the argument is living a completely clean life. The counter argument being that if these people aren't completely clean, we don't need to do anything until they are, as they are hypocrites.</p> <p>They encourage you not to readily call others hypocrites, and that we're all capable of hypocrisy in daily life, as we are all locked into the same systems. They also ask you to think about what aspects of your life produce pollution, and how you can reduce that by doing what you are doing, slightly differently. It's not what we do it's how we do it.</p> <p>During this episode William mentions a video where Stuart first revealed that he'd dyed his hair, here is a link to that video: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=953NoNYHk94&amp;ab_channel=ThePeople%27sCountryside" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The World Isn't The Only Thing That's On Fire</a></p> <p>During this episode its also mentioned that Stuart and William are leading a guided walk.
