  • Really Beautiful

    I love learning about animals and their impact on the ecosystem, and this podcast is really informative in a very interesting and engaging way. It’s also really good to hear some good news about our environment during a time that’s not feeling very bright, and even though the podcast talks about problems, it also talks about the ways in which they are fixed, and I love listening to and learning about them.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

BONUS: Puffins! from Good Nature with Megan Leslie
Q: Describe the puffin and what makes them unique in their habitat.
Puffins are small seabirds with a distinctive black-and-white appearance, bright orange breeding bills, and impressive diving ability; they inhabit rugged coastal colonies, where complex social nesting and strong site fidelity define their life cycle.
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.
