🎧 Climate Optimism with Lily Cole
Archive of Dan Snow's History Hit 🎧 • 39m
Environmental activist and model Lily Cole is On Jimmy’s Farm to discuss how we can protect the planet we love, and the healing power of nature.
Lily started her career as an international model when she was a teenager, but she found herself on a slightly different journey into climate change activism after finding the confidence to refuse to wear fur on the catwalk.
Hear about some of the eco-activists and pioneers she’s spoken to along the way, and why she thinks despite all the gloomy statistics, there is reason to be optimistic.
It’s Mental Health Awareness week, and Lily also shares some of her personal anecdotes about how she’s incorporated nature into her life for her physical and mental wellbeing.
