In this episode, Aub sits down with "The Banana Lady" herself, founder Dr. Emma Fieldhouse, to play "The Climate Footprint Game." We dive into the surprising truth behind the products we use and the food we eat, revealing that the things we think are bad might not be the real culprits.


We explore why our approach to climate education needs to be reframed, how we can move beyond the unhelpful dichotomy of "individual versus system," and why a simple game can be the perfect way to spark critical thinking. Don't miss this fun, eye-opening conversation that makes sustainability stories tangible and accessible for everyone.
