Reasons to be Cheerful with Ed Miliband & Geoff Lloyd
News:Politics
Hello! The nature crisis affects everyone, and so the British people should have a say in how we solve it. But is our current system ready for it? Step forward: the People’s Plan for Nature, a huge national conversation about the future of nature. Thousands of people got involved, which led to the UK's first citizens’ assembly on nature set up by the RSPB, WWF-UK and the National Trust. We talk to Helen Meech and Jon Alexander about how they made it happen, and to Graham Roberts about what it was like to take part.
Plus: Inspired by his time at the RSC, is Ed ready for an immersive theatre experience?
