One Planet’s gone on tour, and over the next six weeks Mike will be out and about meeting you – the listeners - along the way. Yes he’ll clock up a rather large carbon footprint, but he’s going to shine a light on the stories you want illuminating (and we’ll try and do something about that footprint in the coming weeks).

First stop Kenya to meet a couple of listeners. Kipruto Bett from the small town of Kericho takes Mike into the Mau Forest to hear about its importance as a water resource for the whole country. We also meet some of the people who’ve lived in the forest for centuries, and consider at what point sacrifices must be made for the greater good.

Later in the show Mike hooks up with Nairobi student and One Planet listener Charles Mucugu to discuss his main concerns. The two go shopping and hear about food price rises caused by the drought that’s ravaged Kenya in recent months.

Along the way Mike will break a spade, and we’ll discuss supped up cars and political corruption.

As ever, tune in or download the show, have a listen and then let us know what you think. Email the team on oneplanet@bbc.com, or join in the conversation on our Facebook page, the link’s below.

Next week we’ll be in London hosting an event just off the Strand, if you’re interested in coming along and telling Mike your thoughts, drop us an email.
