<p><b>Episode 213 of the Common Weal Policy Podcast<br/><br/></b>You can download the episode directly <a href='https://www.buzzsprout.com/264906/15238058-episode-213-right-to-roam.mp3?download=true'><b>here</b></a>.<br/><br/>This week, Craig talks to Nadia Shaikh from the Right to Roam campaign, who are seeking the same right to access land in England as we in Scotland have enjoyed by statute for over two decades and by custom for many years longer than that. They discuss how 92% of England came to be locked away from the public, some of the parallels and points of divergence between Scotland and England in this regard, the peculiar case of the "access island" where land that is technically open to the public cannot be reached without trespassing and how land access isn't just a rural issue, with cities experiencing limits to land access via parks and other greenspaces being locked behind private gates.<br/><br/>You can learn more about the Right to Roam campaign here: <a href='https://www.righttoroam.org.uk/'><b>https://www.righttoroam.org.uk/</b></a><b><br/><br/></b>More about Access Islands here: <a href='https://practical-emu.pikapod.net/access-islands/'><b>https://practical-emu.pikapod.net/access-islands/</b></a><b><br/><br/></b>And more about private parks in London here: <a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHvKvOUSor4'><b>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHvKvOUSor4</b></a><b><br/><br/></b>Common Weal's work is only possible thanks to our generous supporters who regularly donate an average of £10 per month.

<p><b>Episode 212 of the Common Weal Policy Podcast<br/><br/></b>You can download the episode directly <a href='https://www.buzzsprout.com/264906/15198783-episode-212-borrow-everything.mp3?download=true'><b>here</b></a>.<br/><br/>This week, in lieu of a guest, Craig gives a presentation based on one of his public talks. He details what a Circular Economy actually means in contrast to the much more limited definition being used by the Scottish Government. Rather than merely "increasing recycling", he looks at the "nested loops" that make up a Circular Economy as products are redesigned, reused, repaired, and recycled. In particular, he shows how Tool and Resource Libraries can give us access to better products than we are able to buy in our current linear consumer economy.<br/><br/>A video version of this presentation with illustrative slides will be posted to Craig's channel here: <a href='https://www.youtube.com/craigdalzell'><b>https://www.youtube.com/craigdalzell</b></a><br/><br/>If you'd like to know more about his presentations and training courses, visit here: <a href='https://thecommongreen.scot/talks-and-training/'><b>https://thecommongreen.scot/talks-and-training/</b></a><br/><br/>And if you'd like to read Common Weal's Common Home Plan, you can download a copy here: <a href='https://commonweal.scot/policies/the-common-home-plan/'><b>https://commonweal.scot/policies/the-common-home-plan/</b></a><br/><br/>Common Weal's work is only possible thanks to our generous supporters who regularly donate an average of £10 per month.
