In this episode, Dr Anne Logan, Chrissie Booth, Vice-Chair of the National Federation of Women’s Institutes (NFWI), and Lorna Blackmore, past regional President of the Soroptimist International Great Britain and Ireland (SIGBI) Southeast Region, discuss the myriad ways in which women’s organisations have campaigned, and continue to campaign, to protect and improve the natural environment. Topics we discuss include the formation of the iconic ‘Keep Britain Tidy’ campaign by the NFWI in 1954 and the current NFWI campaign for ‘clean rivers for people and wildlife’. We also discuss SIGBI support for ‘toilet twinning’ and for solar-powered cooking devices to reduce deforestation and hopes for a future less dependent upon single-use plastic items.
