A fascinating conversation with Violet Coco, passionate environment and social justice activist

Every Tuesday, the team at the BEAM Mitchell Environment Group Inc sits down for EarthChat, a weekly conversation that digs into the environmental questions that matter locally and resonate globally. Hosted by Vanessa, Peter, Ruth, and Tim, this isn't just a rundown of headlines; it's a thoughtful exploration where science, policy, business, and community action intersect. You'll hear genuine discussions that consider the practical realities and the hopeful solutions for the planet's most pressing issues. Originally broadcast on Seymour FM, each episode of this podcast captures the spirit of those live, midday conversations-whether you catch the Tuesday broadcast or the Saturday repeat. The dialogue is grounded, informed by the group's non-profit perspective, and always aimed at making sense of complex topics. Tuning into EarthChat means joining a community of listeners who are curious, concerned, and ready to engage. It’s a space where environmental news moves beyond commentary and into the realm of tangible, shared understanding. So find the episode that piques your interest, and get ready for a chat that informs and inspires action.
