More whales have been spotted off the coast in the UK this year, including humpbacks off the coast of Cornwall. Exciting? Sure! But changes like this lead us to question what's bringing or driving these incredible marine mammals to waters they’re not usually found in. The whales & climate change conversation is not just one of distress, it's also one of hope; join us to find out how whales, though a climate victim, can actually offer powerful climate solutions.

Sometimes, you've just got to take your eco-friendly growing questions to an expert. This episode was recorded in a stunning glasshouse at Yeo Valley Organic with the brilliant Head Gardener Sarah Mead (see it on Instagram). Think: keeping ants out of your compost bin without chemicals, sowing spectacular wildflower lawns, and empowering soil to love your seedlings. Oh, and water butts for all!

Invasive non-native species have been called the silent threat to our ecosystems. They are a key driver of global biodiversity loss. We’re understanding what an INNS actually is, learning about issues these plants and animals can bring with them when they arrive and get comfortable in a new ecosystem, and we’re asking, can we actually blame invasive species for their damage? Or is there another direction to point the finger at? Hmm.
