About The Owl Hoot

This is a show for anyone interested in the environment and sustainability. I arrived at a point in my own life where I wanted to know more about the state of our planet and how I can play my part (albeit small) in mitigating climate change, reducing pollution and supporting biodiversity. I decided that chatting to others who are already doing something might be a good place to start. So, each episode will feature a different guest telling their stories in and around an environmental activity, that will perhaps provide you with ideas that you can incorporate in to your own life.
