Episode notes

This week's episode is about the future of coastal cities and climate change. Ben Othen, a marine biologist from brooklyn came up with the idea to start a non-profit think tank for that purpose. He says people should look at what they can do outside their jobs in order to have an impact on environmental issues. Katherine wilkinson, our debate coach, also talks about how you can use your skills within your company to make a difference.

Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson. You loved her Oceanology episode and now she is in your feed to address everyone’s agonizing internal question: IS MY CARBON FOOTPRINT BS?! I don’t drop a lot of podcast episodes into my precious Ologies feed, but this topic was so wonderfully covered by Dr. Johnson and co-hot Alex Blumberg that I had to do it. And as a bonus, stay tuned for Wednesday’s episode between me and my old friend C. Andrew Hall, the creative director of the non-profit illustration collective, the Drawdown Design Project. I’ve been consulting with him for 2 years on a giant project that just dropped and I think you’ll love what he has to say about our individual roles and responsibilities in climate change.

So yes: onward with “How to Save a Planet.”
