The Rainham Eco-Hub's Tread Lightly Podcast
Welcome to The Rainham Eco-Hub's Tread Lightly Podcast with your hosts Kayleigh Ward and Liz O'Hanlon. In this series of podcasts they will be speaking with inspiring people at all stages of living more sustainably, and discuss various topics of environmentalism from making your garden more wildlife friendly to climate injustice. The Hub is a judgment free space to explore the important and sometimes complex space of living more sustainably, whilst giving time to recognise what goes wrong and how to tackle those big subjects in our busy lives. No one person is doing this perfectly, but when people come together to share and celebrate what can be done as a community, big change will happen.
