On this episode of "Death in The Garden," Jake and Maren go into detail about why they were so inspired to do this multimedia project. Jake talks about his multi-year experiment with his diet to achieve optimum “human health, planetary health, animal welfare, and a sense of spirituality”, which lead him to a raw vegan diet, where he discovered that veganism was an easy, false answer to the incredibly complex problem of climate change. Maren describes her journey with these things as well, differentiating between the apathy of misery and empathy of grief: and how important it is to truly experience grief to heal ourselves so we can heal the planet.
