This is Marianne Sullivan.

0:13.4

And this week, Marianne will be speaking with Gina Bates, who lives in the Highlands of Scotland.

0:18.9

I, by the way, have been there and love it. I haven't been to Gina's house. But, you know, the night's still young. I've been to the Highlands of Scotland. I, by the way, have been there and love it. I haven't been to

0:21.9

Gina's house, but you know, the night's still, yeah, I've been to the highlands of Scotland and

0:25.4

love it there. But Gina, more importantly, will be telling us all about the vegan land movement,

0:31.7

which is in the UK and which honestly we're more excited about than we have been about anything in a really long time.

0:40.1

We've talked about this interview every day, I think.

0:43.5

0:46.9

Like just, you know, crowdfunding, buying land that would otherwise probably be going to animal agriculture.

That's the kind of land that they're buying and rewilding it. And it just, it kind of says everything. It's like, it's like what else is there? There's consciousness and there's land.

1:44.1

Let's use it as well as we can, if we can't get rid of it.

1:46.7

1:52.1

I just, yeah, but it's like.

1:54.1

New York Island. Okay. I just.

1:56.7

From there Edward Porr is now. So, now Waters. So I feel like that song is just everything that's, it's symbolic of everything that's wrong, I think.

2:10.4

It's like, mine, mine, mine.

2:12.4
