THINK ACT REGENERATE is a podcast by Leigh Baker of ThinkActRegenerate which explores the wealth of regenerative design solutions happening on the ground in Australia and New Zealand, as well as around the world.
There are endless messages about ”use less and campaign for policy change” – messages that can easily hide today's wealth of smart, local, regenerative solutions.
In this example-rich episode, we explore strategies for meeting local needs using local resources and creating local jobs BY combining local wisdom and global know how.
