The Turtle Talks

Connection to Change : Love Button - Garrick Dawson

In the second episode of The Turtle Talks, 15-year-old host Sienna interviews Garrick Dawson, Global Ambassador for the Love Button Global Movement and a tour representative for Coldplay. Garrick, who travels the world with the band, discusses his journey from an academic background with a Master's in Education to mobilising thousands of volunteers across over 50 countries. He explains the philosophy of "giving back through love" and shows how even a minimal commitment of volunteer time can create a profound, global impact. The conversation explores simple, practical steps listeners can take to start volunteering, effectively transforming concern into tangible action. Key topics include: * The "snowball effect"—how one simple, practical step accumulates into significant change. * Defining personal impact, whether it means changing the world or simply changing "someone's frown to a smile." * The role of platforms like music and live events in connecting audiences to the need for conservation and humanitarian participation.

Connection to Change : HK Cleanup - Lisa Christensen

In this debut episode of The Turtle Talks, 15-year-old host Sienna virtually sits down with Hong Kong Cleanup founder Lisa Christensen, whose organisation has mobilised over one million participants to remove more than ten million kilograms of trash from Hong Kong’s coastlines, trails and city streets.  Together, they explore how a single one-day beach cleanup became a year-round movement and what individuals, wherever they live, can do to protect the environment.
