In the Weeds

Science, swimming & seaweed.

Adriana, Ziggy, Bethan & Tess emerge from 1 hour down under, still dizzy from the pressure change, they kindly explain why Crayweed is 7 times more likely to provide habitat for crayfish and abolone; how exactly they hope to plant 46000 individual crayweed plants across 23 sydney coastal sites, and how each plant could possibly house hundreds of small animals (epifauna) which form the basis and origin for almost all life on earth. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

A line in the sand.

To begin our monthly audio journals, hosts Brenden Newton & Arthur Little sit with system change monster and founder of AIME - Jack MB, to mark a line in the sand. A line representing our commitment to re-focus our time on what matters, restoring our relations with nature. Exploring the current imbalance of transactional profit above planetary health and how one day per month could help turn the tide on this.  Brenden draws on his 3 decades swimming the most violent of earth's ocean, Artie drawing on his cultural understanding of relational network patterns, his connection to country, water and animals; and Jack laying down the challenge for 20 orgs to get to the beach monthly for ceremony, science and seaweed. A reeling note of how important our custodial role really is, in relation to the 7 billion other species we share this blue dot with. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

In the Weeds Trailer

Each year, by July, we've exceeded Earth's resource budget for that calendar year. We spend 3+ hours scrolling 'who's hot and who's not' platforms daily, while natural disasters are threatening to become more common than owning a dog by 2030. It's time to reorient our attention minutes back to nature; learning, understanding and reinvesting in the resources that keep us alive. Welcome to IN THE WEEDS, a monthly audio offering documenting the reorientation of our time. Back to nature. The end result being ocean reforestation across 14 Sydney beaches - a case study and precedence for cities globally. All from a small tweak of our biggest resource: TIME. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.
