Settle back on the couch with a six-pack. No, not beer. A six-pack of stories! In our final episode for 2022, Ant and Elfy run you through their pick of the big green news stories of 2022. Some were major stories, some got a lot less airplay. Some were Australian, some were from overseas. But all of them gave real depth and insight to what was going on in the environmental arena. We hope you enjoy this recap as much as we enjoyed bringing you the green-themed news this year. Thanks and happy holidays to all our loyal listeners!

We got there. It didn't look likely at the halfway point, but COP27 finally delivered an international fund to pay for the “loss and damage” which developing nations suffer as a result of climate change. What else was achieved? This week's guest Peter Newman (Distinguished Professor of Sustainability at Curtin University) was in Egypt, and he explains how a few rogue fossil fuel players won a small battle or two, but why they're starting to lose the war. Also this week: punishing plastic polluters, the problem with pet food, and plenty more!

When are we going to get serious about cutting down on air travel? And why have 1000 aviation industry heavies jetted into Melbourne this week? Alex Mungall from Flight Free Australia joins us to tell us what's going down, and explains why his group will be protesting the Melbourne event. Also this week, the latest from COP27, our provocative solution to a failed plastics recycling scheme, and guess who got arrested again? All that and more on The Canary!
