The bad news is, this episode marks the end of the first series of 'The Our Effect Podcast'...But the GOOD news is, it's a super-duper, sustainable spectacle of an episode - we're touching again on the very special topic of sustainability within University courses!

Join Jake & George as they welcome another two academics from the Cornwall Campuses who are getting sustainability gold stars for leading the way in incorporating sustainability into Falmouth University's course catalogue!

First up, the duo welcome Steven Bond, an Associate Lecturer in Graphics, and general eco-warrior! Steve tells the boys all about his recent 'Choices Choices' module. The module, which Steve rapidly, successfully, and admirably delivered online in response to the COVID-19 UK lockdown, encouraged students to help deliver positive responses to the climate & ecological emergency through design, also enabling students to develop their critical thinking when it comes to sustainability issues as well. Steve also touches on his other sustainability passions, notably his work to bring a renewable biodiesel product to the UK market via his new business ''Other Oils'!

Secondly, the wonderful Paul Russell joins Jake & George to tell them all about two new, sustainability-focussed courses he's bringing to Falmouth's School of Entrepreneurship this year – Sustainable Festival Management and Sustainable Tourism Management! Paul tells the boys more about the courses' delivery partnership with the Eden Project, and shares his knowledge on the complex issue of 'assessing' the sustainability of student projects, degree content, as well as products and services in our day-to-day lives.
