🌏 This month's One Planet Market talk was an eye-opener. Professor John Boland joined us to unpack two of the biggest environmental stories in SA right now: extreme weather events and the algal bloom. Graphs, stats, the lot — but the real gold was in the practical takeaways. Here's what stuck with us:
💪 Get fit, stay resilient — Personal fitness isn't just about you. The fitter we are, the better we can handle heat, stress, and the physical toll of extreme weather.
🤝 Know your neighbours — Community connection is climate resilience. When things go sideways, it's the people next door who show up first. Say hi, swap numbers, check in.
🏛️ Get involved locally — Your council likely has grants and projects for cooling urban spaces and regreening the landscape. Have a look, get involved, or just ask what's happening in your area.
Huge thanks to Professor Boland for such a thoughtful and grounded talk. This is exactly why we love these sessions — real science, real community, real action. 🌱
See you at next month's workshop for Plastic Free July!
