Welcome to Audio Learning from Assemble You.Starting a conversation about sustainability can be difficult. It’s a complicated topic that sometimes requires people to understand some very technical ideas. Given that it also involves people’s lifestyles, choices and values, it can be quite sensitive too.It’s possible to make people aware of the need for more sustainable choices without it turning into a science lesson, a criticism of what they’re doing now, or a political debate.
