Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

BONUS: Introducing Good Nature with Megan Leslie
Q: What inspires you to keep working in conservation after Earth Hour and the Reef work?
The people and heroes in communities—the school kid Climate Girl, local organizers, traditional owners, engineers, and volunteers—are the real drivers, and their collective effort sustains momentum and persistence.
BONUS: Introducing Good Nature with Megan Leslie
Q: How did Earth Hour transition from a one-hour event to a broader, ongoing conservation movement?
The key was shifting from fear-based messaging to hope and connectivity, and recognizing that millions of people want to contribute. The branding and the idea that anyone can participate beyond a single hour helped expand the movement globally.
BONUS: Introducing Good Nature with Megan Leslie
Q: In your garden, in your neighborhood, would you say that there are any weeds around there?
Weeds aren't a strict botanical category; if you learn about a plant's origin, function, and role for pollinators and soil carbon, you may see it as a neighbor rather than a weed, and some so-called weeds may actually be native or naturalized plants with useful roles.
