Laura Young: The small and big things we can do for climate justice
Playback speed
The climate and ecological crisis poses a massive threat to all of us. But somehow, the problem's so big it can feel hard to know what to do in response – or how to keep fighting for change after decades of trying. And for followers of Jesus, there's an added question: how far is the Christian story concerned with these issues?To get into all this and more, Paul and Grace host Laura Young (aka @lesswastelaura), an award-winning climate activist, environmental scientist, and ethical influencer. Based in Scotland, she's led the campaign against disposable vapes, appeared on a host of broadcast media, and is researching how her home nation can improve its climate resilience in community-centred, nature-based ways.Together, they explore why working for the healing of God's creation is far from a peripheral issue for Christians – in fact, it's a crucial part of the church's mission to join in the redemption of all things.And as if that wasn't enough, Laura shares practical, actionable ideas for how each of us can make a difference on climate issues, right where we are.Find out more about Laura at lesswastelaura.com/
