He joined me for this episode to discuss his perspective on the state of plastic pollution, climate, COP26 and the future of our planet. Craig has another film coming out on IMAX in March '22. It's called "The Last Glaciers" and highlights the reality of climate change by filming on location of some of the world's largest glaciers, from the alpine summit of the Alps to the Antarctic and Greenland. This will be a very important documentary containing essential information for educators.You should follow Craig and all that he is involved with on the social media platforms. And why should you? Because he is providing riveting and relevant information that needs to be brought to the classrooms of the world. Our climate issues won't fix themselves. They need motivated, curious and educated young people to emerge from the schools inspired and equipped to make a difference and bring about change. I'm proud to be an educator with the opportunity to effect change on the planet and affect the future through my students. Craig Leeson does the same through film.

The Plastic Free July movement is sweeping Australia and for very good reason. Our obsession with plastics, particularly single-use plastics, is causing devastating impacts to our oceans, our land, our wildlife and us. If you’ve ever wondered just what kind of impact, and the degree of this impact, plastics are having on our environment then today you’re in for a real treat. Actually, today may not be a treat at all, because my guest has some pretty alarming information to share with us all. Craig Leeson is an award-winning journalist, television presenter and filmmaker. His debut cinematic feature film, “A Plastic Ocean”, which he wrote, directed and executive produced, hit the coveted no.1 spot for documentaries on iTunes in the U.S., the U.K., and Canada and is listed globally on Netflix with the backing of Leo DiCaprio. What’s more, Sir David Attenborough has described A Plastic Ocean as the most important film of our time.
