"What can we do?" , asks Sam

Sydney Theatre Company
director, Sam Mostyn
 - "what can we do?".
Sydney Theatre Company
artistic director, Cate
Blanchett
Most women, according to climate change sustainability strategist, Ms Sam Mostyn, have heard sufficient about the dramatic implications of our changing climate and now just want to hear about what it is they can do to ease the difficulty.
Ms Mostyn, who is a company director, a member of the Australian Museum Trust and, among other things, a director of the Sydney Theatre Company Board, made that observation during a panel discussion on the ABC’s Big Ideas program.
The program, entitled
Cate's Climate Change Vision” tells of the ambitious, and so far successful, “Greening of the Wharf”, the home of the Sydney Company on Sydney Harbour - Artistic Directors, Andrew Upton and Cate Blanchett have led a team that has seriously upgraded the Wharf's sustainability.
That project and the subsequent widers societal impliations were discussed in the ABC's Big Idea program by a panel that included Ms Mostyn.
It was during the summing up that Ms Mostyn noted that women were becoming weary of repeatedly hearing about the serious implications of climate change and wanted, rather, to simply hear about what it was they could do.
