Hello and welcome to Happy Place. I'm Fern Cotton and this is the show that

questions what we're told to accept as truth. Today I'm meeting Bonnie Wright.

The best thing is to really ask questions of Iran, you know, if they're saying, you

know, sustainable t-shirts, sustainable, like what sustainable at it is it? The

way that cotton was grown, how it was harvested, what are you doing about the

soil, like how much water do you use to make that t-shirt, like what am I going to

do with a t-shirt afterwards? What was the living wage that you gave to people

working for this t-shirt? I think it's just all about seeking more transparency I

think behind the statements. Now unless you've been living quite a sheltered life

for most of the 21st century, you'll probably recognise Bonnie as Ginny Weasley

from the Harry Potter film franchise. But for her, those years of acting served as

a brilliant foundation that would nudge her into the work she's now really

passionate about doing. She founded her own production company and is now on the

other side of the camera directing short films. She's also an amazing environmental

activist and author of Go Gently, actionable steps to nurture you and the

planet. Like me, Bonnie adores the coast. There's something so special about being

by the sea. For me, it's just a full-bodied experience like the sound of the

waves, the smell of sea, but also the chips cooking nearby, the sound of sea

gals, the feeling of the cold water. I just love all of it. So so many of us are

experiencing that awful climate anxiety and can feel paralyzed by all the things

we're not doing. Which is why I love Bonnie's book because it guides you through

these really lovely small manageable changes we can all make in our everyday
