The Ripple Effect from The Clean Collective

Conversation 8: STRAWkling with Harriet Spark

"Harriet might be the most true blue, fair dinkum Aussie environmentalist that you will ever listen to." Harriet’s love for nature took her into the ocean as a diver. When she saw the amount of plastic straws washing up in Manly Cove, she realised the need to educate more people about conservation and inspire the same love she has for nature in others.  And so STRAWkling was born, a "many hands make light work" inspired movement that combines environmentalism, communication and snorkelling.

Conversation 5: Ocean conservation and aboriginal culture with Madison Page

"Turtle populations are declining and they’re becoming mainly female. What happens to cultural knowledge then? That’s something I want Murriyan to let people know - the environment’s degrading, that’s happening, but also what’s the effect of that on our First Nation people. Because we’d be losing culture." What were you doing when you were 21? Madison Page [https://www.instagram.com/madii.page/] was starting a non-profit [https://murriyan.org/] to promote ocean conservation, tackle climate change and the cultural divide between aboriginal and colonial Australia. Dayum lady! Pretty awesome.  In this episode, Roland chats with Murriyan founder and all-round legend Madii Page about tackling climate change and bridging the cultural divide between aboriginal and colonial Australia, as well as movies, food, marine biology and The Wiggles. Intrigued? You'd better give it a listen.  Read Madii's open letter to Gladys Berejiklian HERE [https://thecleancollective.com/blogs/eco-and-healthy-living-blog/an-open-letter-to-gladys-berejiklian ].  Like what you're hearing?

Conversation 4: Understanding indigenous and women’s rights with Kirilly Lowcock

“I used to go to church, sometimes as a child. But this is the most holy place I’ve ever been. When you’re in the birth room, there is a palpable feeling in the air that is completely different." - Kirilly Lowcock Recorded alongside the shores of the river in Brunswick Heads, this conversation explores women’s rights, indigenous rights and bridging the cultural gap between western medicine and traditional birthing. “Kirilly was an amazing person to share space with, and I think the best character trait that I benefitted from was her patience, in teaching me so much that I didn’t know in such a short amount of time.” - Roland Davies, Host.
