Chris Innes: Helping To Build A Sustainable Future For The People And The Planet
Chris: Thanks for having me, Spiffy. We are helping to build a more sustainable future for the people and the planet by conserving species and ecosystems and reducing the carbon footprint of people. My team and I work in communications and marketing to help tell the most important stories of the challenges the planet is facing in order to survive and thrive and help people understand what we can all do about it. There is so much complex and worrying information out there that we are trying to help people understand what is really happening and what we can dowhether by supporting with our protests, with our donations, or with our personal actions and choices. The work we support, the petitions and protests we make, and the way we live our lives can make a massive difference.
