Podcast Description
Hi everyone, and welcome! We're the Denver Audubon- an independent, nonprofit chapter of the National Audubon Society, and we believe that birds are not just beautiful—they’re vital.

The Curious Bird is part of a larger effort to uplift what we call a voice of the sky—a growing community of people, like you, who feel called to speak up, act boldly, and care deeply for the future of Earth and all her wild beings.Our goal is to share the stories of inspired advocates—and to reflect on the creativity, interconnectedness, and wonder that the natural world awakens in us. We hope these stories spark lifelong learning, deepen your sense of stewardship, and remind us all of the power of collective care.If you enjoy these conversations, please consider donating to the Denver Audubon!

In this episode of The Curious Bird, we bring to you a thought-provoking, eye-opening, mind-expanding conversation that asks you to show up with curiosity and a willingness to see things differently. Communications Manager Dori Edwards speaks with Rosie Briggs of Eco-cycle — A mission-driven, nonprofit social enterprise spreading Zero Waste solutions in Boulder County and beyond.
If you have always wondered why recycling is important and if it truly makes a difference (teaser: it does), this episode dives into not just the impact of recycling, but how this simple action is an entry point to a greater effort of collective change. Dori and Rosie descend into the often unknown layers of consumerism, while exploring the possibilities of being responsible consumers and earthly stewards. But, they don’t stop there. They talk possibility itself and how imagination, laughter, engagement with the natural world, and shifting the narrative bubble we live in are, at their core, revolutionary acts.
This conversation is an adventure and if you need to giggle as much as you need to hear that you’re not alone and that these difficult times are not your fault, we welcome you to this discussion where we marvel at the miracle of what is and work to believe the miracle that could be if only we come together.
