bluedot x Bruntwood In Conversation - Tom Heap (39 Ways To Save The Planet)

Tom is a journalist and author covering science, environment, farming and energy stories. He is a regular presenter of BBC Countryfile on TV and Costing the Earth on BBC Radio 4. The podcast series ’39 Ways to Save the Planet, emerged from a determination to celebrate the successes in our fight against climate change. Knowing where we are winning informs, inspires and stems anxiety. Tom started out wanting to make movies but, while working as a sound man for Sky News, he gained a taste for journalism. At the BBC, he was a producer on the Today Programme, transport correspondent, science and environment correspondent and ended up specialising in rural affairs. Outside of work Tom likes to ride bikes, paddle canoes, chop wood, watch films and grow chillies.
Tom is in conversation with Chris Hawkins about his ’39 Ways’, the book that came out of the series, and what we can all do to fight climate change.
