Guerrilla (Not Gorilla) Conservation with Shalaco from SFinBloom
Listen now
Description
Have you ever wanted to do something for the environment but gotten discouraged because the problems just seem too big and insurmountable? This happens to me ALL. THE. TIME. Shalaco from SF in Bloom, though? Undaunted. When he and his partner, Phoenix, realized that pollinators were struggling and how much native plants could help, he got himself a bee suit, a parmesan cheese shaker, and some native wildflower seeds and hit the streets of San Francisco on his one-wheel, spreading future blooms wherever he zoomed.  Join Shalaco and me as we discuss the impact this kind of direct action has had, how the message has spread around the globe, and what you can do to join in the fun. Here are some links/sources mentioned in the episode:  SF in Bloom's website (you can also follow them on TikTok or Instagram @sfinbloom)  Larner Seeds  Tuscon Rainwater Harvesting  Native, Invasive, and Other Plant-Related Definitions  A couple of GREAT social media accounts mentioned in this episode include: @blackforager on Instagram/@alexisnikole on TikTok,  @sacramentofoodforest on both Instagram and TikTok, and @crime_pays_but_botany_doesnt on Instagram/ @crimepaysbutbotanydoesnt on TikTok.

It's fall! And all around the country, tidy piles of raked leaves rest on the corners of lawns, ready to be bagged up and thrown away. But throwing away leaves means throwing away free mulch and fertilizer. It also means throwing away habitat and belching methane into the atmosphere. Join...
