💦 New episode! Water Quality and Why What We Do on the Land Matters 💦

The latest shows water quality in the Maroochy and Mooloolah rivers has been declining over the last 10 years and is now rated as 'fair'.

Our aquatic ecosystems are vital for biodiversity, our drinking water and their connection to the ocean.

In this episode, I explain:
✅ What a catchment is and how it functions
✅ The positive impact of increasing native vegetation along waterways
✅ Practical steps you can take in your own backyard to support waterway health

We value our rivers for so many reasons, from the species that live and breed in them to the morning paddles and swims we enjoy in them.

Consider any change in your life, the way you work and the way you do things. A lifestyle change, a location change, a change in your family.

How can you use this change to challenge your thinking, evolve the way you do things, make new connections, learn about a new area or topic?

While change can be disruptive, any change is an opportunity to learn, to grow, to optimise the impact you are having in the world.

🐢 We Grow Episode 2: Biodiversity Explained 🐢

In this episode, I ask a few "What if?" questions. What if we were to lose some (or all) of the species that are currently at risk of extinction? What would this mean for the ecosystems where these plants and animals live?

To explore this, I explain what an ecosystem is and what biodiversity means.

I also look at a few examples: the moa, which became extinct in New Zealand due to hunting, and the humpback whale, whose population has soared following global action 🐳.

You'll also be guided on a brief grounding practice in this episode 🌟.
