Episode 17: Spicy sustainability with Jess Silva
This week’s guest is Jess Silva, presenter, commentator, and co-founder of Carbon Jacked and Second Nature Sisters, and Jess is all about adding some spice. Hugely passionate about sustainability and sport, Jess shares how she has carved a successful career which combines the two, from starting off working for England netball, to presenting for Sky Sports and Formula E, and talking at Sports Positive. Currently on her way to COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan by train (where she will be running yoga sessions!), Jess talks about the idea of imperfect environmentalism, how she wants to make sustainability spicy, and staying optimistic despite the climate stories of doom and gloom. She shares how she is building a community for women in the sustainability space, through Second Nature Sisters, connecting people with nature, and where she wants her passions to take her in the future. It is a brilliant episode, full of passion, zest, and yes, spice.
