Jon Long has recorded a brand new ‘Carbon Lifeforms’ which will broadcast on the 17th Dec.

It’s the most wonderful – and most wasteful – time of the year so Jon and Dr Tara bring us fun facts and practical advice to help us all cut down the amount of food, drink, and packaging that gets thrown away over the Christmas period.

They’ll be joined by hungry comedian Jessica Fostekew to discuss ingenious uses for leftovers and how breaking tradition – with new traditions – might be the way forward. And there will be a host of festive special guests along the way.

The 4th instalment of ‘Carbon Lifeforms Christmas Special’ is on Sunday 17th Dec, 7:15pm BBC Radio 4, and you can catch up Here
