Climate Action w/ Erica Finnie (of 350 Aotearoa)

How To Save The World Podcast

Erica Finnie is a community organiser, climate activist and the Director of 350 Aotearoa - the organisation standing up against the fossil fuel industry in NZ (and around the world). 350 was founded by American environmentalist/journalist/author Bill McKibben and is named for the Parts Per Million of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that has been deemed acceptable for the health of the planet. We are currently at over 400 PPM and climbing.

Erica and 350 Aotearoa have successfully lobbied institutions like Auckland University to pull investment money from fossil fuel industry and meet all around the country to coordinate climate action. But don't be scared – they're super friendly, even if you don't know the first thing about Climate Change! Erica talks to us about climate change, the importance of collective action and the very simple but powerful actions individuals can take to positively impact the environment.
