SUMMARY
Today we're trying a new format for this podcast.
When The Carbon Connection launched one year ago, the objective was to highlight climate conversations happening around the world. The plan was to collaborate with hosts and producers of other podcasts and highlight their conversations with guests. Click on the link in the show notes to see the conversations we've been able to share, thanks to the independent podcasters and teams with which we've had the opportunity to collaborate.
Moving forward, we will continue to highlight climate conversations. This time we're sitting down with partners of The Carbon Almanac Network.
In the podcast's new format, we'll speak with partners to learn more about their community engagement efforts, what has worked for them, what hasn't, and what they've learned.
We begin this new journey by speaking with Dr. Rob Slater, founder of One Devonshire Place, a specialty orthodontics practice in England.
Rob is also a podcast producer and contributor to The Carbon Almanac Podcast Network.
In today's episode, Rob and I discuss sustainability in dentistry. We discuss how Rob started his practice and what he has learned about making his practice more sustainable. Rob shares his successes and challenges and offers insight into how patients can enter conversations about sustainability with their family dentist.

SUMMARY
In this episode of The Carbon Connection, we hear from Heather McTeer Toney, who shares a story about a situation needing her attention after she was elected mayor of Greenville, Mississippi, in 2004.
Like many in the South, her community had a brown water problem, meaning that when you turned on the tap, the water was tinged with rust and sediment that were both public health issues and a deterrent to economic development. What started as a commitment to helping her community with a basic need evolved into a lasting commitment to environmental justice.
Heather McTeer Toney served under President Obama as the regional administrator for the Environmental Protection Agency's Southeast Region. Today she continues her work as the Climate Justice Liaison at the Environmental Defense Fund. She is a senior advisor to Moms Clean Air Force, where her work engages parents and caretakers in developing culturally responsive solutions to the climate issues that affect our children's future.

SUMMARY
How can adults talks about climate change with children?
This question is at the heart of this conversation between psychotherapist Caroline Hickman and host Verity Sharp.
Caroline Hickman is a climate psychologist and teaching fellow at the University of Bath in England. In this thoughtful conversation, Hickman offers guidance to parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, teachers, and all adults interacting with children.
Hickman shares she sees anger over the climate emergency expressed more than eco-anxiety and speaks about supporting children instead of only talking to them.
She also shares practical solutions and what she learned from her conversation with a six-year-old child when she asked the child how she wants adults to talk to her about serious topics.
