#25 The Sky's The Limit | How Then Shall We Live Pt. 4

Jun 6, 2018

In part 4 of our series 'How Then Shall We Live?' which explores whether or not our personal choices matter in the fight against climate change, Mary Anne and Anna Jane explore whether or not to cut down on flying because of the harmful impact on the climate. They are joined by Dr. Peter Kalmus, a climate scientist at NASA (speaking on his own behalf) who made the personal decision to avoid flying to reduce his carbon footprint. It's an inspiring and surprising dialogue on the beauty, life lessons, and everyday miracles he's gained as a result of slowing down and being more present and intentional.
