Can we save the planet and still keep our stuff?

From cheap tops to takeaway spoons, the dilemmas are unavoidable.

The online fast fashion retailer Boohoo has revealed a 48% rise in their revenues, a sign that our appetite for cheap stuff is as big as ever. Meanwhile climate change activists Extinction Rebellion are preparing to march through the heart of London鈥檚 City protesting against what they call a 鈥榯oxic financial system鈥� that鈥檚 built on greed. So just how much does consumer culture impact the environment and what can we do about it? We speak to podcaster and comedian Stevie Martin and 麻豆社 correspondent Justin Rowlatt. You can see Stevie鈥檚 show 鈥楬ot Content鈥� at the Edinburgh Fringe Underbelly, Bristo Square.
