#267: EELS

Would YOU disolve your stomach as you journeyed thousands of miles across oceans, simultaneously growing new s*x parts, in order simply to spawn and die? Well, would you?

#266: POO

A man (obviously, a man) has made an environmental movie about poo. What option did we have?

#263: SORRY

We've listened, and we get it. We're sorry for going away, and for being wrong.

We promise to never go away or be wrong again.

#262: LIZ TRUSS

New boss of Blighty seems disinterested, at best, in saving the planet. How outraged can we muster the energy to be?

#261: LEAH THOMAS MEETS SUSTAINABABBLE

'Intersectional environmentalism' doesn't trip off the tongue, but writer and activist Leah Thomas' concept is profoundly important for fans of planet Earth.

Important, and quite hard to spell.

#260: RUPERT READ MEETS SUSTAINABABBLE

Are you eyeballing climate breakdown in all its unvarnished horror? Good, says author, activist and philosopher Rupert Read. And if anything, stare harder.

#259: The High Seas

Pirates, manganese nodules, and viperfish: the high seas and the stuff wot's in 'em are magical, scary and profoundly important. And they're being naused, obviously.

Superstar scientist Dr Olive Heffernan explains.

#258: ROADS

Mmmm, yummy yummy concrete helping stinky cars go zoom.

Shouldn't we be crosser about roads, 'specially what with so many more of them being built?

#257: BIRD FLU

The babble is not a qualified dispenser of medical advice, but please, PLEASE don't put your s*x parts near a dead or dying chicken. Or a perfectly healthy one for that matter.

#255: Green Capitalism?

If animals and plants are so good, then they should have a $ value, right? Why else would we want to save them?

'The Value of a Whale' author Adrienne Buller
takes a deep breath and walks us through it.

#253: BADVERTS

S**t lawns can't be sold as 'eco-friendly' (yay) and vegans can't call animal loving meat eaters hypocrites (boo, er, we think).

#252: BUSINESS

Eurgh, business, coming over here exploiting everyone and messing up the planet. Right?

Former IKEA sustainability chief Steve Howard joins us for a natter and fights commerce's corner (kinda).

#251: AUSTRALIA

Well blow me down under, the Aussie electorate have given celebrity planet-puncher Scott Morrison the heave-ho.

#250: LIGHT POLLUTION

Why aren't animals more grateful that they can all see where they're going now we've lit up the planet like a christmas tree?

https://www.sustainababble.fish/?p=1518

The night sky, it seems, is getting brighter. At least according to some not-science we got sent by some not-scientists. But whether it’s true or not (it almost certainly isn’t) the question of light pollution got us thinking.

#249: DAVID ATTENBOROUGH

Newt-nuzzling demi-God or 'population' peddling posho?

Or - and this isn't very 2022 so bear with us here - not necessarily 100% one or the other?

#247: MARY COLWELL MEETS SUSTAINABABBLE

For most 16 yr olds, life is more Minecraft than mining bees. But a new natural history GCSE could change all that, thanks to the indefatigable author and curlew-botherer Mary Colwell.
