Desertification Island Discs with Rio Rio ESG
-
- Business
Desertification Island Discs is a podcast/video series hosted by our CEO, Dan Botterill. The year is 2050. It’s a parallel universe in which we were too ignorant to take the steps required to tackle climate change and global warming...Britain is now a deserted island. The Government has fallen. The cities are wastelands. We live as farmers, gatherers and hunters. You must leave everything behind....apart from 7 records, a box set and a gadget. Dan speaks with our guests about the significance of those items selected to accompany this hypothetical future world in addition to the wider sustainability agenda in current society. It's a very organic conversation about sustainability, music, films, books, things that makes us who we are.
