The Ripple Effect from The Clean Collective The Clean Collective

"Harriet might be the most true blue, fair dinkum Aussie environmentalist that you will ever listen to."

Harriet’s love for nature took her into the ocean as a diver. When she saw the amount of plastic straws washing up in Manly Cove, she realised the need to educate more people about conservation and inspire the same love she has for nature in others. 

And so STRAWkling was born, a "many hands make light work" inspired movement that combines environmentalism, communication and snorkelling.

"The ocean is downhill from everything." - Tim Silverwood.

Roland chats with Tim Silverwood, CEO & Cofounder of ocean clean-up conservation organisation Take 3 for the Sea, a non-profit addressing the challenge of plastic pollution by asking everyone to Take 3 pieces of rubbish when leaving the beach, waterway or…anywhere. #Take3ForTheSea.

Now 10 years old, Take 3 for the Sea has found its way into 129 countries worldwide, removing an average of 10 million pieces of plastic from the environment every year. 

Join Roland and Tim as they chat plastic pollution, community, surfing and philosophy over a coffee, straight after a surf on a cold winter's morning. Does it get more Aussie than that?!

"Turtle populations are declining and they’re becoming mainly female. What happens to cultural knowledge then? That’s something I want Murriyan to let people know - the environment’s degrading, that’s happening, but also what’s the effect of that on our First Nation people. Because we’d be losing culture."

What were you doing when you were 21? Madison Page was starting a non-profit to promote ocean conservation, tackle climate change and the cultural divide between aboriginal and colonial Australia. Dayum lady! Pretty awesome. 

In this episode, Roland chats with Murriyan founder and all-round legend Madii Page about tackling climate change and bridging the cultural divide between aboriginal and colonial Australia, as well as movies, food, marine biology and The Wiggles. Intrigued? You'd better give it a listen.

“I used to go to church, sometimes as a child. But this is the most holy place I’ve ever been. When you’re in the birth room, there is a palpable feeling in the air that is completely different." - Kirilly Lowcock

Recorded alongside the shores of the river in Brunswick Heads, this conversation explores women’s rights, indigenous rights and bridging the cultural gap between western medicine and traditional birthing.

“Kirilly was an amazing person to share space with, and I think the best character trait that I benefitted from was her patience, in teaching me so much that I didn’t know in such a short amount of time.” - Roland Davies, Host.

"People are rising up. Everywhere. And that is this disruptive chaos that we need. I really believe that."

Listen as Roland chats to 1 Million Women Founder & CEO, Natalie Isaacs, about changing habits, people-lead revolutions and escaping affluent society's framework of high consumption. Also, why we need to fall madly, deeply in love with the earth. 

(Please note, as this was recorded prior to the 2019 General Election in Australia, some of the conversation discusses the 'upcoming election', which has now of course, taken place. Spoiler alert: the Liberal party got in.)
