Sustainability trail-blazer David Starley on The Green Runners, FKTs and why going vegan can save the planet

Vegan Fitness Runner

David Starley is co-founder of The Green Runners, and was listed in the 2023 Edie 30 under 30 list for young people leading the way in sustainability.
He's just achieved the Fastest Known Time for the Smuggler's Way in Cornwall, and continues to raise awareness about climate change through his activism and running.
David and I discuss what more can be done in the race against climate change, going deep into the issues surrounding big businesses and decision-makers holding all the cards that determine the future of the planet.
I ask whether change can ever come from the top or if we have to rely on future generations to sway policy-makers.
Are we at the mercy of big oil, capitalism and big-bucks seeking millionaires, or is there still hope from those who can make their voices heard through community and mass-participation.
Ultimately, we remain ever-hopeful and David believes that staying positive is the best course of action.
His future plans? To continue making FKTs if it helps the planet!
