Summary
This week! 2 Authors, 1 Crisis. Do we have a "Hope In Hell" to survive the climate crisis, or do we have "Reasons To Be Optimistic" in the face of it? We talk with longtime activist Jonathon Porritt and famous model and actress Lily Cole about their brand new books, and find out the role that both rage and hope play in pushing us to ask ourselves in light of the climate emergency, "What are you going to do about it?"
