I interview wildlife campaigner Richard Dowling (@DowlingWildlife on Twitter) about artificial grass. In this episode we talk about what the problems are with it, what the best low-maintenance plants are for your lawn as alternatives to grass, what to do if your landlord won't let you get rid of an artificial lawn and more!
With a promo for Crime Most French @CrimeMostFrench :)

My apologies for the muffled audio quality on this episode - in the first version it sounded very uneven.

In 2019 Mohammad Najajrah and Mazin Qumsiyeh from the Palestine Museum of Natural History, at the University of Bethlehem, carried out the first ever study of ladybirds in the West Bank. They found 35 species. In this episode, I talked to them about their work, how the Israeli occupation is affecting nature and the environment in Palestine, how ladybirds are viewed in Palestinian culture and more.
