How we relate to other animals...Nature, 'wildlife', animal companions, animals who are farmed. What are the stories we are told and tell ourselves about other animals?

Our Earth Week Special - How can we as individuals contribute to reducing carbon emissions?  Sangeeta Dewan and Penny Southgate talk about the different levels of action we can take, from making small practical changes, to bigger levers such as voting and where we put our money, and finally to the more fundamental shifts in the way we think about the world.
