London's flooding, green infrastructure, and biodiversity, oh my! Katherine Drayson and I have just a wonderful conversation about a lot of amazingly interconnected things with London and connecting with your own local cities, as well as the benefits of Natural Capital, the finer balancing point of the whole system and what happens when we take a vital piece out. We also talk about fatbergs which are so interesting and rather horrifying!

Oh CONTENT WARNING: we do talk about human waste in this episode, so if that's not your jam, than I totally understand, tune in next week for more fun conversations.
