The Running Out of Time baton has now reached the south coast of England, and in this episode of this Carbon Copy Podcast special, we meet Elly Toyer of Portsmouth International Port, Kristina Downey of the city council and Clare Seek of Share (Portsmouth). We learn how this coastal city is leading the way in terms of making maritime greener, and we even hear from the local climate choir, who sang as the baton was carried through the port! Listen, to discover the successes and the challenges of climate action in Portsmouth. “I love what community can do to bring people together, to do practical things which help the planet and help each other. I discovered Repair Cafes – the first one was founded in the Netherlands 15 years ago this October – and thought this seems such a good idea, why haven't we got one in Portsmouth? “So I decided to set up a little Facebook group and plugged it on every community group in the city that I knew, and in 24 hours, I had 200 people... Either ones to help or, [people saying] ‘Yes, oh my goodness, I want this because I've got X, Y, and Z and I'd love someone to help me fix it.’ “So, you know, I couldn't then not make it happen!” - Clare Seek, Share (Portsmouth) Show Notes  Find out more about what's happening across Portsmouth for climate and nature, here: www.carboncopy.eco/local-climate-action/portsmouth Find out about Share (Portsmouth): https://carboncopy.eco/initiatives/share-portsmouth  Discover more about the Repair Cafe network: https://www.repaircafe.org/en/ Learn about sustainability at Portsmouth International Port: https://www.portsmouth.gov.uk/services/environmental-health/climate-action/  Find out what Portsmouth City Council is doing to tackle the climate crisis: https://www.portsmouth.gov.uk/services/environmental-health/climate-action/  Read about the huge solar project at Lakeside North Harbour: https://lakesidenorthharbour.com/solar-project/ Read about the Climate Choir Movement: https://climatechoirmovement.org/#about  Sign up for a leg of Running Out of Time: https://running-out-of-time.com/route/   

This episode of the Carbon Copy Podcast Running Out of Time special comes from the town of Bradford on Avon, in Wiltshire. Carbon Copy’s Head of Social Media, Yasmin Redfern, and Trustee Andy Knott, joined the relay crew and participants for a sustainable fashion-themed event to celebrate the baton’s arrival in the town, organised by Climate Friendly Bradford on Avon. We hear about Climate Friendly BoA from member Rowena Quantrill, and about the local Town Council environment committee and repair cafe from more enthusiastic residents. We also speak to relay participant and vegan runner Laura Briggs about her involvement with the Running On Plants campaign. Listen to discover the fantastic energy and enthusiasm for climate action in this vibrant Wiltshire town. “I think it's about opening those dialogues and having conversations about people who are participating in your sports. Not everybody wants free t -shirts. Not everybody wants free bottles of water. Just really being mindful about the little changes that you can make that will improve our environment...  “The climate crisis is upon us now. We're running out of time, quite literally. And we need to do something about it now.” - Laura Briggs, Running on Plants ----------------------------------------------------------- Show Notes  Find out more about what's happening across Wiltshire for climate and nature, here: www.carboncopy.eco/local-climate-action/wiltshire  Learn more about Climate Friendly Bradford on Avon: https://carboncopy.eco/initiatives/climate-friendly-bradford-on-avon Get useful tips about reducing the impact of fashion and textiles locally, from Carbon Copy: https://carboncopy.eco/community/slow-down-fast-fashion  Read about Running On Plants: https://runningonplants.org/ Sign up for a leg of Running Out of Time: https://running-out-of-time.com/route
