Podcast

Intro:

Hi Naomi, it is lovely to see you today and to hear all about your Mossy Carpet idea. Welcome to Mayflower and thank you for your time. We are studying globalisation as part of our curriculum - it is great to have the chance to ask you questions about this topic. Let's get going...

 

Q1: On your Mossy Carpet website, you mention that by looking at nature we can get new hope and ideas. What do you mean by this?

 

Q2: How does making a massive Moss Artwork help us to take care of our planet?

 

Q3: I don't really understand what Moss has to do with making our planet more healthy? Can you explain more on this please?

 

Q4: You talk about the 'The Carbon Giant'. What is this please?

 

Q5: You say that we have a lot to learn from Moss. What sort of things can we learn from this plant, and why haven't you focused on using pretty plants like flowers?

 

Q6: Your film explains that 1 meter below our feet = 1,000 years of history. What do you think this history could teach us about how to take care of our planet?

 

Q7: We are part of Mayflower's Media Team. You are a really great presenter on film. What great tips can you give us about becoming epxrt like you when telling our stories at Media Club?

Q8: When I had a go at making your mossy carpet - at The Box - we used wool. Where does this wool come from and how can everyone get involved?

 

Q9: Do you really think that making a moss carpet will help change our planet for the better? What will you do with this moss carpet when it is finished?

 

Outro:

That's unfortunately the end of our podcast today. Before we met you I had no idea about the super powers of moss. Thank you for teaching us about this and we can't wait to make a bigger moss carpet with you now. Let's do this, and remember, Together we can...
