In this episode, I talk with Bas, a passionate urban explorer and eco-activist, about how walking can become a powerful tool for reconnecting with nature—especially in dense urban settings. We explore why eco-walks and other neighborhood activities matter not just for personal well-being, but also for building stronger, more caring communities. We also touch on:
• How eco-walks invite us to see our cities differently
• Why rivers in Thailand are so polluted—and what that reveals about urban priorities
• How the government could foster environmental awareness through education
• Why walking projects are a great first step for anyone looking to get involved in local life
