Step outside your front door for a moment… what do you notice?
Concrete, cars—maybe a few scattered trees.

Now imagine that same street alive with birdsong, pollinators, and wild nature woven into everyday life.
What if that transformation wasn’t just possible—but already within reach?

Today, we’re exploring how we can begin to rewild our urban spaces—starting right outside our own front doors.

Joining us is Sian Moxon, founder of Rewild My Street. She’s an Associate Professor of Sustainable Architecture and a researcher in urban biodiversity at London Metropolitan University’s School of Art, Architecture and Design. She’s also an architect, a climate change expert with the UK Universities Climate Network, a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, and the author of Sustainability in Interior Design.

Rewild My Street is a design-led toolkit helping Londoners transform their gardens and streets to support biodiversity and bring nature back into the places we live. By creating more green and blue spaces across the city, the initiative works to reverse the trend of urban environments becoming increasingly grey—fostering ecosystems that build climate resilience, restore nature, and support human well-being.

On today’s Wild For Change podcast, we’re speaking with Laurent Lebreton, whose work focuses on ocean plastic research at The Ocean Cleanup.

In 2013, at just 18 years old, Dutch inventor Boyan Slat founded The Ocean Cleanup with an ambitious idea to remove plastic from the world’s oceans.

Today, The Ocean Cleanup is a nonprofit organization developing advanced technologies to rid our oceans and rivers of plastic — with a bold and refreshing mission: to put itself out of business.

Because what begins as litter on a street corner doesn’t stay there. It can travel through storm drains, into rivers, and eventually thousands of miles into the open ocean — where it’s ingested by marine life, entangles marine life, and disrupts ocean ecosystems.

Our oceans are downstream from all of us.

In this episode, we explore the scale of the plastic crisis, the science behind its impact, and the innovative solutions working to turn the tide.

On today’s Wild For Change podcast, we explore forest bathing with our guest, Jackie Kuang, Business Director at the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy. I was recently introduced to forest bathing by a friend, and I found it to be a deeply impactful and authentic way to connect with nature and myself. Given how fast-paced our society is, we have forgotten how to slow down and reconnect with ourselves and with nature. When we slow down and reconnect with nature, we begin to remember who we are: a vital piece of nature. Through this remembering, we also realize that we are connected to all of nature and develop not only a sense of care for ourselves but also for all the other beings we share this planet with. It’s like a recalibration that gives us a deeper understanding of life.

I hope you enjoy this podcast as much as I did.
