Welcome to Communicating Care: a podcast of the Just Transition Collaborative at the University of Colorado Boulder where we talk about the ways environmental and climate justice advocacy are motivated by, express, and foster care.

Today, our guest is James Wakibia, a professional photographer who lives in Kenya and is an environmental activist credited for galvanizing public support in Kenya for the strictest plastic bag ban in the world in 2017.
