Episode notes

We need people to engage in systemic fights and resistance on that systemic level. I think there's this understanding that em a climate activist is always a very young person or a very old person, there's apparently nothing in between. And these people are never normal, like they had always this one thing that happened in the life, and it changed everything. It kind of tells people, well, you're too normal to be a climate actavist. i really want to make it as easy as possible for people to engaged in climate activism... which, fortunately, is much easier now than it used to be.

If there’s one thing that connects all humans, it’s that everything we walk on, breathe, drink, and eat comes from the same source: planet Earth. From composting to cooking to taking climate action, today’s guests (including Chef Sean Sherman, comedian Jo Firestone, and activist Luisa Neubauer) share the many ways they try to connect to and protect the home we share-- and invite you to get involved in whatever way you can.
