The Proof with Simon Hill


The lungs of our planet urgently need our help with Jimmy Halfcut

February 07, 2020

In Episode 92 I sit down with Australian Environmentalist James Stanton Cooke, or 'Jimmy Halfcut', to talk about the role that our rainforests play in keeping our climate cool. I met James a few months back at a charity night in Bondi and with the fires currently burning across Australia I couldn't help but think this was the perfect time to sit down and talk about mother nature.

In this episode we discuss:

• The role of rainforests in keeping the climate cool
• Preserving rainforests
• Australian wildfires
• Controlled burning, hazard reduction and circulation burning
• Regenerative Agriculture
• Australia's energy situation - coal and renewables
• Animal agriculture and environmental considerations
• Beeganism
• Being an environmentalist
• Practical things people can do to lower their environmental footprint
• and much much more
