    The Bat Episode Pre Show

    The Bat Episode Pre Show (4) Melanie T: [00:00:00] Hey there. It's your host. Melanie Tea with Biodiversity Adventures. Normally, I say tune in and geek out, but today I'm going to say tune in and gear up and screw it. I have recorded. This ad probably 20 times today. And I have literally cried every single time that I have attempted to record it. So I'm going to say, screw it. If I cry, I cry. I'm not a crier, but this really means a lot to me. Are you ready to dove in to the wonders of our natural world? Well, we've got something extra special for you. [00:01:00] Introducing Biodiversity Adventures merch. No, not that kind of merch. Okay, well, it is, but it isn't, because this is not your typical podcast, and I'm not your typical host or your typical scientist. In each episode, we bring you fascinating stories about our planet's incredible biodiversity. And now you can be a part of the adventure by wearing our exclusive biodiversity themed shirts, hoodies, hats, stickers, bags and more all related to the episode topics. when you're out there sporting our gear, you're not just supporting the podcast. It's more than that. You're starting conversations and spreading the word about vital biodiversity issues. And this [00:02:00] is one way together we can make a difference worldwide. That means a lot to me. I think about it this way. Imagine if I reach you and just. Just one other listener. And both of you have a shirt or a hat or just a sticker that you put on your car. And that starts just one conversation, just one that is a 400% increase in spreading awareness throughout the world about that topic. What if it. Like today, I'm getting ready to record. The Bat episode. currently we have general biodiversity merch and we also have. Save our bats [00:03:00] merch about the decline of our bats and. I know in my soul that I am meant to help. Spread awareness about biodiversity. It means so much to me. Because I know with my knowledge and my gift of gab that I can make a real difference with your help. And you can make a real difference with me. So we can do this together. And the more that I researched bats, the angrier that I became. And you'll see why when you hear that episode. But it really does mean a lot to me to do this. no that [00:04:00] the merch does not have my logo on it. It's, you know, doesn't say like in big block letters, biodiversity adventures. My website's on there in tiny print and that's it. The message is about. Each topic. I took a lot of time designing and coming up with a lot of different choices and messages based on the research. That I discovered or some of it our already knew about our bats. And some is, is, you know, just general information. we can make a real difference. And. If that's the one thing that I can do in this world is to make a difference, because that's, for example, [00:05:00] they're worldwide, with the exception of like two places, which typically there aren't a lot of people there, so that, you know, they're worldwide. And it affects all of us because bats are species that we cannot live without and could literally save our lives in one way or the other. it's amazing to me what is going on with them. If you. Are really passionate Biodiversity or bats or another topic that I cover in the future. You will always be able to find. Merch that maybe expresses exactly how you feel or [00:06:00] the message that you would also like to get out there to the world. So visit biodiversityadventures.Org. And. Let's make a difference together. I worked really hard at looking for organic products. And there will always be some as well as some recycled products, which is great. And then the rest of them are just 100% cotton. that was the best that I could do. I also decided to do print on demand because that is actually the most environmentally friendly way that I could do this. Because if you order. A ton of merchandise all at one [00:07:00] time. That may be more cost effective, but it may or may not necessarily be good for the environment. you know, let's face it, I'm not Joe Rogan over here where my merchandise might sell out quickly or Mr. Beast or someone like that. I am me about to put my second episode out. So, you know, I have a long way to go, but this was something that I have been thinking about for a very long time, and I wanted to do it the right way. And because print on demand, companies print as you go, they are more of an environmentally friendly choice because they are, quote unquote, up and running, doing other people's printing at the same time as they would be for me. they are not [00:08:00] just starting from scratch each time and, going through the printing process. They're constantly doing that anyways. And I didn't want to order a bunch of things also because that's extremely wasteful and I'm going to cover the fashion industry pollution in one episode. And if you knew you would laugh You know, I'm not even going to cover that you would say what? ...
