Making A Difference
Episode 12 - Crossing Boundaries, Changing Perspectives (Deakin University + Southern Cross University)
This episode, produced by journalism students from Deakin University and Southern Cross University, hears from people who are helping others and, by extension, helping the planet.
We delve into the world of Depop to explore if the movement is helping to curb our fast-fashion ways.
We also follow Ten-Cent Tom, a guy who is building a recycling business one aluminium can at a time, with the aim of employing people with disabilities just like him.
This episode also explores the complex issues of loneliness, identity crisis and voluntary assisted dying.
