Host, Megan Hockin-Bennett takes a break from interviews to talk about the podcast, what it has meant for her so far and the huge ripples it's making in her life swell as others!

Finlay Pringle is a marine conservationist, climate change activist, Sea Shepherd shark ambassador and alongside his family has collected nearly 10,000KG of trash from the shorelines of his home in Scotland. But most importantly, at the age of 16, right now he is trying to complete his exams so he can once again focus his efforts on saving the planet!

At the age of nine, Finlay was in love with sharks, but became upset when he found out that over 100 million of them were being killed a year due to human threats. This sparked a nearly decade-long journey into activism and conservation. SO FAR.

As of February 2024 he has completed 269 climate strikes on Friday mornings instead of going to school. As a family since 2020 the Pringle’s have completed 229 beach cleans and removed 9832kg of plastic pollution from the oceans. In 2024, so far, they have done 18 clean ups collecting just over 600kg of ocean trash.

Finlay is a whirlwind of productivity and we spoke about growing up in the spotlight and how hard it is to stay positive in what can sometimes feel like a bleak future for this planet.
