Leaving the world in a better place than you found it! Feb 02, 2021

Show notes

I often ask what our guests think governments need to do to protect the planet.
Today's guest is Future Generations Commissioner for Wales, Sophie Howe.
Her job is to hold the government and Welsh bodies to account on behalf of those who have not been born yet. We cover how environmental and health issues are connected, to town planning, the 4 day working week and robot taxes!
Find out more about Sophie’s role (and the Manifesto we discuss along with the Future Generations Act and Report!) here;

If you’re listening in Wales - don’t forget the vote in May which includes votes for 16 and 17 year olds!
