Mondays 4-4:30 a.m. ET.
A global, topical weekly show examining climate change and how to stop it. This program isn’t about questioning whether Climate Change is happening; it’s about finding the best ways to respond to it. This is sharp-edged, analytical inquiry, hard scrutiny, touched with a sense of adventure and discovery, and where we can find it: hope. Stories across the world on why we find it so hard to save our own planet, and how we might change that.

Spilling the Beans on Carbon Labelling
April 26 – May 2
23 mins or 26 mins 30 secs (30 mins including the News Bulletin, billboard & promo)
In this programme Graihagh Jackson and Neal Razzell investigate the complex issue of trying to put a useful figure on the carbon footprint of what we eat and why previous schemes that have tried to do this have failed.
Over two-thirds of global emissions are linked to what we do in our homes. That includes the choices we make about the food we eat. Quorn and Oatly are two companies that have recently begun adding carbon footprint information to their products to help us make greener choices. But what does this information really tell us about the greenhouse gas emissions created in production, and how accurate is it?
