This week Chris features Danae Wolfe to discuss practical ways individuals can make a difference in environmental conservation starting from their own homes.

Together, they delve into Danae's book, 'The Grass Isn't Greener: The Everyday Conservationist Guide to Bringing Nature to Your Yard,' which provides step-by-step guidance on creating eco-friendly yards. Danae shares insights from her journey from photographer to conservationist, emphasizing the importance of seeing our backyards as part of the ecosystem. The discussion covers the significance of native plants, strategies to get rid of invasive species, methods like lasagna gardening, and the broader environmental context. They also highlight the critical role of insects in the ecosystem and offer tips on becoming backyard scientists and starting nature journals.
