Description
Occasionally on fire and forever associated with the word "bog", peat is many things to many people.
Gardeners guiltily sprinkle it on petunias, while tweedy gun people gad about on it shooting grouses in the face.
To the boss of Heathrow, however, it's the answer to all those knotty questions about carbon emissions, and to Michael Gove it's the inspiration for an outrageously smutty speech. Oh for peat's sake.
We dig around to uncover why rotting plants are suddenly so important for the climate.
Also this week, more planet-saving heroism from young people. Christ knows we need it.
Sustainababble is your friendly environment podcast, out weekly. Theme music by the legendary Dicky Moore – @dickymoo. Sustainababble logo by the splendid Arthur Stovell.

#7: THAT interview…: Green party leader Natalie Bennett’s "excruciating" interview hit the headlines this week. For more auspicious reasons, so did president Obama and his Keystone veto. But are we putting too much stock in the actions of our leaders? by Sustainababble
