My guest this week is Lilly Woodbury. Lilly is an enviromental activist and Chapter Manager of Surfrider Pacific Rim in Tofino. Lilly has a Bachelor of Arts with Honours in Environmental Studies from the University of Toronto. She has worked as a campaigner for Greenpeace in New Zealand and also does environmental consulting, writing and public speaking. In this episode we talk about her family, recently losing her Dad and what he was like, how she wishes she was more like her parents in some ways, why she cares so much about the environment and why she's so well suited to protect it. We also talk about the work she's doing with Surfrider: their curriculum for kids, cigarette butts and beach cleans, why you shouldn't drink bottled water, making plastic from mushrooms, seaweed and carbon pulled from the atmosphere, how corporations take advantage of times of crisis to push through their agenda and how racism and poverty play a role in climate change.
