Hello!
This podcast episode has a rather overly grand title, but it's really a continuation of Episode 48, about environmentalism. I look at topics like agricultural practices, diet, the concept of slow travel, accommodation, driving, office work, and fashion. All enveloped in a nice packet of privilege identification. Be thankful I didn't go into things like sustainability and greenwashing. Maybe that's something for another pod. Can we save the world? I guess that's up to us.
Topics discussed include:
* Parkrun update (including volunteering)
* Twitter Spaces update
* Palm Oil on the beach
* Vegetarianism and Veganism
* Why I don't like flying
* 'Eating like a local' isn't aspirational
* Slow Travel and why it's both my style and not my style
* How to alienate a travel blogger community in one easy step
* Why AirBnB is a good thing
* The benefits and malefits of cars
* The joys of working on an out-of-town business park
* All about 'Share-Taxis'
* "It's all just about privilege, isn't it?"
* Fashion Blogging with the Barefoot Backpacker
