"Upcycling and Sustainable Design" ft. Lynne Lambourne

Lizzie interviews Lynne Lambourne, 2019’s Grand Designs Live Interior Designer of the year. Lynne identifies as a thrifty "warrior on waste” and sets out to show adults and kids alike how to live more sustainably in homes that look fantastic and don’t cost the earth. Lynne won the Channel 4 show with a sustainability and upcycling theme of using only second-hand or upcycled furniture pieces. No stranger to the world of television interior design, Lynne has been featured on Gok Wan’s show ‘Fill Your House for Free’, the BBC’s 'Great Interior Design Challenge' and has worked on styling room sets for the Ideal Home Show. Lizzie and Lynne discuss a wide range of topics from upcycling trends and where to start on your own upcycling journey; the definitions of second-hand, vintage and antique; how thrift shops have become trendy and what that’s doing to the market place; and Lynne gives her top tips to help change our mindsets and behaviours to ultimately live more sustainably. https://www.lynnelambourne https://instagram.com/lynnelambourne

Om Podcasten

Earth Shakers is a brand new podcast hosted by Lizzie Carr, an eco-adventurer, campaigner, author and founder of the environmental movement, Planet Patrol. Lizzie has spent the last five years bringing attention to some of the most pressing issues affecting our planet. And with so much happening in the world right now - all at lightening speed - it can feel like a pretty daunting place. Earth Shakers is her brand new podcast designed to help us feel equipped and empowered to make a positive difference in the world. This podcast delves into the minds of leading scientists, social innovators, activists, storytellers, adventurers and thinkers who are shaking up the planet, and making sense of the chaos. These individuals are pushing boundaries to forge a better world and we discuss everything from the challenges faced, sacrifices made and visions for the future, as well as the motivators that keep them going. We’ll be able to learn something from every single one of them and, importantly, they will be providing us with the knowledge and tools to show up and take action in our daily lives - bringing out the earth shaker that exists in us all.
