I get so fired up when I think that humans are the I get so fired up when I think that humans are the only 'animal species' on the planet that destroys their home. And yet, we think we're so friggin' smart.... waaaaayyyyy smarter than any other species in the animal kingdom. I personally think our species has so many failings and the biggest one.... GREED.  Give me a "Hell yeah!" if you agree with me.... . . #sustainability #sustainableliving #climatechange #climateaction #ecoliving #bethechange #ecoquote #ecotips #environmentalengineer #environmentalscientist #ecobusiness #ecobusinesscoach #consumerism #minimalism #greenliving #environmentalist #zerowaste #minimalism #consumerism #ecoconsumerism

This drawing was created by the amazing Shrestha f This drawing was created by the amazing Shrestha from India (aged 10) to share her love of trees and our environment. India is one of hundreds of children from around the globe who care about climate change and who have entered an international kids drawing contest to make their voices heard on this vital issue.  The contest is the brain child of Dr Marji Puotinen (@marjettalp), a coral reef scientist who aims to teach kids around the world about the climate crisis through interactive play and art. Marji meets kids at their level with play dough and LEGO and isn’t afraid to dress up as a coral polyp or penguin to help get the important message of the climate crisis across to young inquisitive minds. In my latest Eco Chat episode Dr Marji shares why she’s focussing on educating kids about the climate crisis rather than adults, how she ensures she doesn’t fuel any anxieties the children may already have about the state of our global environment, and how you can get the children in your life involved by drawing a picture of a tree and in turn have a real tree planted on their behalf. Tune in here>> https://lauratrotta.com/climate-education-kids/ (link in bio) Be sure to encourage the children in your life enter the competition before end June 2021 and have a tree planted on their behalf.

Do you work in the sustainability/ environmental f Do you work in the sustainability/ environmental field and have a big message to share? Written a book lately and want to share it with the world? Are an ordinary person doing extraordinary things to improve our world for generations to come (even if they don't seem extraordinary to you)? If YES I'd love to feature you on my established sustainability podcast Eco Chat. Eco Chat is in it's SIXTH year and has a global audience of people (mostly women) who are passionate about sustainability. Eco Chat doesn't shy away from the BIG issues. We chat about global environmental issues such as climate change and microplastics in oceans but break them down and share actions the everyday person at home can do to help. Whether you work in climate change, conservation, medicine, politics or science I want to help share your message. Interested? Simply submit a pitch of what you'd cover in our episode together via https://lauratrotta.com/contact/ and I'll be in touch to book a time to interview you if your topic aligns with my audience and hasn't been covered before. . . #ecochat #sustainability #sustainahome #podcast #podcaster #ecoliving #sustainableliving #ecobusiness #greenbusiness
We had such a great city escape to Melbourne on th We had such a great city escape to Melbourne on the weekend. The highlight for this champ was a tour of the Melbourne Cricket Ground. 🏏 I love the city of my birth and these days don't get back enough. Was so much fun to experience the highlights with my boys (we also made it to Queen Vic markets) and support some of the struggling CBD businesses and attractions. ❤️ . #melbourne #victoria #mcg #melbournecricketground #queenvictoriamarket #makingmemories #familytime
"Hi Laura - do you know how can I filter the air i "Hi Laura - do you know how can I filter the air in my house?" A simple question that spoke so much. A simple question from a friend in Melbourne during the height of the Black Summer bushfires which had blanketed Australia's two largest cities with thick smoke. A simple question from a friend with asthma who was struggling to breath. There is no doubt that climate change is a human health issue. While it's been seen mostly as an environmental, economic and even political issue for the past three decades, the human health impact from climate change is now too great to ignore.  In my latest Eco Chat episode I'm joined by Dr Kate Wylie from Climate Medicine to discuss the growing health risk to the human population from a warming climate.  Dr Kate is a GP, mother and climate activist based in Adelaide, South Australia. She is also the founder of Climate Medicine, a member of Doctors for the Environment Australia and is a Climate Reality Leader.  In this must-listen episode Dr Kate will share how the impact of climate change is already presenting in patients in her clinic, what key impacts to human health doctors are anticipating will become more common as our climate continues to change, and what led her to create Climate Medicine.  You can tune in here>> https://lauratrotta.com/climate-change-health/ (link in bio) . . #climatechange #climateemergency #climatemedicine #sustainability #sustainableliving #ecochat #lauratrotta #drkatewylie #bushfires #heatwave #climaterisk #wellbeing #humanhealth #ecobusinesscoach #ecopreneur #environmentalengineer #environmentalscientist #climatecrisis #climateaction #ecoliving #greenliving #sustainabilityinthesuburbs #sustainahome
Lest we forget ❤️. Last Post and Revelle playe Lest we forget ❤️. Last Post and Revelle played for seniors in a local nursing home. Anzac Day 2021. Thank you to all who have served Australia. Thanks especially to my grandfather Thomas Owen Daly who fought in WWII in Papua New Guinea and to his son, my godfather and uncle Brian who responded to mandatory enlistment and fought in Vietnam. We owe you so much xxx
Took my boys up to the hills today for the @nature Took my boys up to the hills today for the @natureplaysa forest festival. In our digital world I really find I need to make an effort and create the time to connect my kids with nature. Being in nature is good for our soul. Plus, a strong connection with nature helps our kids to advocate for its protection in future. My Master 11 was one of the older kids there but thankfully that didn't stop him embracing his inner child and dressing up for the animal parade. I thought he made a beautiful butterfly 🦋. We've been to several Nature Play SA events now and have loved each one. Fabulous days out! #getoutdoors #natureplay #greentime #southaustralia #adelaide #consciouskids #sustainahome #makingmemories #forestfestival
When did you last get out in nature? Our 5 days on When did you last get out in nature? Our 5 days on the Murray River last week was just what I needed to refresh. It was made even better with my phone being out of range. The best way to reconnect is to disconnect. Oh, and Paul and I celebrated 14 years of marriage. I'm so grateful to still have him by my side after all these years. ❤️ . . #murrayriver #southaustralia #getoutdoors
