This week on Earth Matters we look at some examples of the way the arts are being employed to address environmental and social justice issues, understand the crisis we're in and move us to action. Arts and media maker Alex Kelly, Science Communicator Joe Duggan and Actorvist Chris Garrard join us on the show to talk about some of the arts based projects that they're involved with as change makers.
Guests: Alex Kelly, Joe Duggan, Chris Garrard. Presenter: Michaela Stubbs

An update on the campaign to stop the Adani's proposal for a coal mine on Wangan Jagalingou country in the Gallillee Basin in QLD. Last week Mackay Conservation Group won a Federal Court case challenging the legality of 'so called' Environment Minister Greg Hunt's approval for the Carmichael  mine.    As a successful divestment campaign sees more financial institutions walking away from Adani, the future of the project is looking increasingly shaky.
Guests: Sue Higginson -Environmental Defenders Office ofNSW, Ellen Roberts - Mackay Conservation Council, Moira Williams - 350.org. Presenter: Michaela Stubbs
