A fabulous Saturday afternoon spent with Henley Literary Festival in collaboration with A Greener Henley, talking about the climate crisis on 4 October at 4 pm. We had about 150 people in the room.

I was sitting on the yellow sofa alongside the brilliant Tony Juniper, CBE, British campaigner, writer, sustainability adviser, and environmentalist. Tony is currently Chair of Natural England, and hearing Tony was a treat whose warmth, wisdom, and deep understanding of our natural world truly inspired me.

This conversation wouldn’t have flowed or been possible without the insights and thoughtful questions from Mike Barry, former head of sustainability at Marks and Spencer. Mike focused on our books. Mine, What Will Your Legacy Be? and Tony’s, Just Earth.

People often ask, ‘What can I do about the climate crisis?’ The truth is, it starts with talking about it. Conversations like this one matter; it’s where change begins.
