As promised, I managed to have a chat with my son Adam on the last day of his visit. I was interested to discover how the cultures that he had been immersed in during the last five years viewed sustainability and treated the environment. Of course there is a caveat in which rightly he states that he could only gauge the vibe from those he mingled with during his stay.
I fully understand that, but I was after his experience, his views, and that is exactly what we got during our chat. We cover his time in the United Kingdom, Germany (1st time), Canada, and finally Germany again.
We also have some comparison with life in Australia and what people in other countries think of our Government’s current policies. You may or may not be kind of shocked.
So grab a cuppa and sit back and have a listen to a great episode.
If you have any questions for Adam or comments/observations of your own, we would welcome them via comment below.
Loved listening to your son, he sounds so much like you!
Him talking about Germany reminded me of when I lived in Holland, I can remember being so excited when my parents used to let me do the recycling at the bottle bank which was conveniently located at the grocery store (green through one slot, brown through another and clear through a third) and the shop didn’t have any plastic bags or even reusable ones, so my brother and I used to climb the mountain of cardboard boxes left at the front of the store to find the right size for mums shopping. This was back in 1989! How far australia still has to go!!
Congrats on the the upcoming arrival too! Having children or grandchildren really hammers it home what we have to do for our planet doesn’t it?
It certainly does hammer it home Lorna. It gives me a renewed sense of urgency.
