Bbc Radio 5 Live
About this episode

In this last episode of The Big Green Money Show, find out about Deborah's lifelong passion for nature and how she believes businesses can and should do more to protect it.

Listener Poppy has a question for the team.

And why does Deborah go barefoot into the garden every day; come rain, shine or even snow?

Featuring Craig Bennett of The Wildlife Trusts, Mark Allan, Chief Executive of Landsec and, if you listen right to the end, the birdsong in Deborah's garden.

If you want to talk to the team, you can email GreenMoney@bbc.co.uk or use the hashtag #GreenMoneyShow on Twitter.

If you're listening on a platform that allows it (BBC Sounds does not) please do leave us a review. We'd love new listeners to disover our back catalogue.

Thanks for listening!

Produced by Lexy O'Connor and Kath Paddison Studio Manager: Hal Haines Executive Producer: Natasha Johansson Series Producer: Justin Bones
