LOVE IN CORPORATE SPACES

Rebecca Wynn is a mother and climate activist who is making waves in the UK with her work in two incredible organizations: Mother's Rise Up and Our Kids' Climate.

Through their work, Mother's Rise Up has been targeting Lloyds of London Insurance with a unique and powerful tactic: Love. In 2022, they created a joyful Mary Poppins flash mob spectacle out the front of Lloyd's of London complete with stunning costumes and professional dancers, encouraging fossil fuel enablers to stop and think about what they're doing to their children's future, and maybe even go fly a kite.

We had the opportunity to chat with this mother about her journey to becoming a climate activist, her work with these organizations, and the importance of using creative and unexpected tactics in the fight against climate change.

During our conversation, we delved into the urgency of ending fossil fuel use not just to address the pressing issue of climate change, but also to reduce the deadly air pollution levels in our cities. The work of organizations like Mother's Rise Up and Our Kids' Climate is vital in driving awareness and action on these critical issues, and we hope that our conversation will inspire listeners to join the fight for a better, more sustainable future for all.
