![]() In the documentary, Allan worked as a creator as well as one of the stars. He is best known for his work on People Just Do Nothing. This was a BBC documentary. This is just a gateway.Allan Mustafa is a famous Screenwriter from England. "I think it's just little things that you can do, but I say make your own education on it, man. plastic is a huge, just be conscious of it. "So start looking into it yourself, you know? But it's stuff like, cycle when you can, walk. "We're not the all-knowing gods on this subject," says Mustafa. "Be conscious of plastic use, also things like fast fashion - don't feel pressure from Instagram, the online world, that you can't wear the same clothes again." ![]() "It's the obvious, really, like recycling," says Chegwin. So what advice do the People Just Do Nothing stars give? Unless has got a weather weapon, which I doubt." "In their mind it's the government and in their mind it's a conspiracy, and it's not on."Ĭlimate change is undeniable, says Chegwin. "That's precisely what I'm talking about," says Mustafa. When Chegwin posted details of the podcast to almost 100,000 followers on his Instagram account, one of the first comments that comes up underneath falsely claims that "climate change is a scam". "You shouldn't have to have PhD-level information just to talk about it, but that's sometimes how you're made you feel." "It's a massive problem that's affecting all humans," says Mustafa. "We don't all have to be on Greta level," he says. Hopefully, Chegwin says, they can get the message across to an audience that may not otherwise be engaging. That's what makes it sound like this that doesn't relate to us, but it's not - it's something that humans have been doing to destroy the Earth slowly, and we are part of that, so we need to look at that and talk about it." "But when you put the news on you feel like you're getting ploughed with all this information in a language that's almost designed to alienate people, that's what I don't like. "I think it's good for anyone to talk about it," says Mustafa. Really and truly, we're both learning at the same time and trying to do what we can."īut it's this kind of conversation that is likely to encourage people who might feel they cannot relate to politicians and scientists, or feel preached to by mega-rich stars for whom money is no object. "Obviously that's just two best mates like terrorising each other. "We joke about the fact that Hugo doesn't care and I do," says Mustafa. I'm naive to all of this stuff but now I do want to make a conscious effort. Over Zoom, he proudly holds his metal water bottle aloft. And it's not about making a conscious effort to sit down and stage a conversation, but just making it a normal thing that's part of your everyday life so you start talking about it naturally."Ĭhegwin admits to having been "naive" about climate change in the past, and in the episode is subject to some teasing from Mustafa about changing his habits. "I just feel like you'll never learn unless you try to talk about it. "And now to add to that is, if you're looking at public platforms, people not wanting to get cancelled, ousted for having the 'wrong' information, the 'wrong' opinion. "I guess it's people not wanting to get things wrong, people not wanting to make themselves look stupid," says Mustafa. The episode came about following research by Virgin Media O2 and environmental charity Global Action Plan, which found that many young people - and young men in particular - feel excluded from the conversation on climate change or are reluctant to engage online, as they don't feel knowledgeable enough to get involved or worry about being judged for their views. There's all these little things that it's just generally become part of normal everyday culture to think about more."Ĭhattin Sh*t To Save The Planet features the pair talking to Gen Z climate activist Francisca Rockey and learning about the effects of everything from fast fashion to food consumption. "In my circle, anyway, it's not a subject that you sit and talk about, but you do realise that you have to make little changes - like people using metal bottles now, not using plastic. ![]() "It was a good opportunity to actually learn ourselves and make slightly more relatable," says Mustafa, on recording the podcast. ![]() Speaking to Sky News, they are the first to admit they might be unlikely poster boys for the issue, but hope they can perhaps offer a different perspective to the politicians and experts who made headlines during the COP26 summit.
