Sometimes, you need to go upstream to find the true causes of environmental issues. We’re about to meet three grassroots leaders who educate Melbournians on what makes healthy urban waterways.

April Seymore is incredibly passionate about the Planet! She’s a responsible dog walker and the Executive Officer of Port Phillip Eco Centre.

Liam Higgins represents a new generation of environmental leaders! He’s the Co-Founder & COO at VOLI, an app that makes doing good easy.

Anthony Despotellis literally has his finger on the pulse of the Birrarung’s health! He’s the Litter Project Officer at Yarra Riverkeeper Association.

Stormwater runoff (from streets, parklands & industrial areas) pollutes the Yarra River, but if we can prevent litter, slow down runoff and filter stormwater, change is possible.

Alrighty then, it’s time for another opportunity to transform climate anxiety into action!

Time to dial up the community vibes! Join us on the Two Bays Podcast, where we dive into skills, knowledge and practices to improve Melbourne’s liveability and sense of connectedness and belonging.

In this episode, our special guests talk about how they and their organisations’ are chipping in and how you can too!

We will meet a quiet advocate for the Birrarung who draws on her experiences as a former Mayor to inspire others to fall in love with our River. Then there’s the surfboard-making engineer who’s bringing fun back into urban swimming conversations, as well as an internationally recognised researcher with some provocative perspectives on future tourism.

Make that cuppa, find a cosey corner and nestle into this heart-warming conversation!
