So, you're living in Todmorden in West Yorkshire (bear with me here).
Things are kind of alright but the planet is burning, the ice caps are melting, and you're actually really quite worried about polar bears and pandas.
Then SUDDENLY Pam Warhurst (AKA The Most Quotable Woman in West Yorkshire) turns up and tells you to start growing carrots on public land without permission.
How is that going to help? 🤔
"Food is our Trojan Horse," Pam told me, proudly. The point is to focus on small steps, to do things with other people, and to do them... without asking if it's okay to do it first 😱
Quote of the episode: "You don't need permission to make your community a more hopeful place. Be out there very publicly making it great. People will love it and be attracted to you."
