"Publicise environmentalism as something people want to do, not as something we should and have to do."
Today we are chatting to Nick Butter for the second time on this show. Our first conversation was Episode 88 back in April where we talked about his experience running a marathon in every country in the world. We're back again to talk about his journey circumnavigating the UK in just 128 days. That is almost 2 marathons a day for 128 days. Nick is someone who works closely with different charities and tries to raise awareness on humanitarian matters around the world, which is why he founded the 196 foundation.
