My old friend J Bennet join us again this week. J has been on both Metal Matters and EWB numerous times over the years; most likely you know J from his music journalism and his band Ides of Gemini. We go back a long way. One of the things we've bonded over is our love of old school heavy metal and hard rock, so I used this as an excuse to talk on the phone and put together a playlist of jams that we dig. Some of the bands you've definitely heard, but, true to EWB fashion, we've tried to through in some relatively obscure stuff. Intro: “All Roads Lead to Ruin” – composed and recorded by Mike Hill Outro: “Midnight in Tokyo” – Y&T
In episode 2 of The Actioneers, Melanie Audrey, EWB's Engagement Program Manager talks to Milda Pladaite and Chris Chukwunta from the World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO), Young Engineers Working Group on Climate Action, about their experience negotiating at COP26 in Glasgow. They discuss the role of ethics, influencing, hope, collaboration and how taking action individually and collaboratively are equally important in a just response to the climate crisis.
