Episode description

Ollie Langridge was born in London, UK. Grew up in a small village outside London. And currently lives in Wellington, New Zealand with his wife Natalia. He has 5 living children - Leo, Sasha, Kai, Alex and Anna who range in ages from 2 years to 23 Years.

Since the 14th of May this year, Ollie has been sitting outside, in front of New Zealand’s Parliament, every single day, holding a sign, protesting for the government to declare a Climate Change Emergency. Using a laptop and parliament’s free wifi, Ollie is able to continue working. But, with the support of his family, he has pledged to remain there every single day, regardless of the weather, until the emergency is declared.
