    EPISODE NOTES (original)

    'Welcome to the podcast for alpaca people!

    In this episode, I explore change, consider how we approach it and the difference between things we have no control over and things we can affect.

    World scale changes will affect us, maybe not today or even tomorrow, but soon. While we can’t completely control much of anything, we can make an impact through what we do. This includes the climate.

    As always, I encourage you to go spend some time with your alpacas and enjoy the moment.

    Let me know your thoughts.'

  • Episode Summary: This episode is a segment of a longer conversation in which Olanbanji and Inma talk about the relationship between the environment and health 

    According to a UN study, the direct damage cost to health incurred by climate change is estimated to be between 2 to 4 billion per year in 2030.

    Olabanji shared how the community successfully campaigned when black soot was all over his city. Faced with public discontent, the politicians had no solution other than implementing adequate measures to end pollution from black soot.

    This proved that lobbying and campaigning could trigger public response and politicians to find solutions.
