HELLO!

This month, Olivia and Mia will be talking to Liss Junior School’s Eco Council. We will be discussing their green roof, what it takes to be an eco councillor, and their latest climate youth project with Queen Elizabeth Country Park. Keep an ear out for the school assembly singing Mamma Mia in the background! 

Also coming up, Olivia and Mia will be discussing whether a good old-fashioned greenhouse is better than the polytunnel. With a quick-fire round, it’s a discussion to keep you on the edge of your seats. All we’ll say is that the answer very much depends on if you value looks over personality!

From recommending the local plastic free shop - Refill and Replenish to discussing how you might want to consider switching your flours, it’s an episode to sit back and enjoy!
