The Switch: Episode Zero

The Switch is a new bi-weekly show on the Defender Radio Podcast feed, produced by The Fur-Bearers and hosted by Michael Howie. 

This show will feature short - about 10-minute-long - interviews with people who are making a difference in combatting climate change and protecting wildlife and their habitat through daily choices. These solutions are meant to be accessible, meaning available to most people living in Canada regardless of who they are and their socioeconomic situations. 

Upcoming episodes include subjects like:

• Blowing Away Gas Leaf Blowers
• Reducing by Refilling
• Ecofriendly Menstruation Products
• Hugelkultur for Biodiversity
• Plastic Waste and PPE Choices
• Animal Agriculture and Climate Change / Impact on Wildlife and Habitats
• The Role of Libraries in Climate Change
• DIY Ecofriendly Cleaning Products (from audience suggestions)
• ...and more!
