Episode 122 | "Carbon Is A Plant Food"... AND???
"CO2 is a plant food… so chill out on the whole global warming/climate change thing"... Sound Familiar?
I’ve heard something like this statement before in groups, comments, messenger, twitter, facebook… but is it a valid statement? Is CO2 just plant food? Is an excess of CO2 in the atmosphere a benefit rather than a problem. Let’s look at how CO2 works first and then dive into HOW they generate their numbers because somewhere between these two there’s a disconnection that is leading many folks to be disconnected from their own breath.

THE GOOD LIFE | Episode 120
A Good Life
How to live a good life? to find happiness, meaning, and fulfillment?
What are the steps, the pieces, the ingredients? is it like Oprah said, we need 70k a year minimum? or is it a higher goal that forms a life of purpose? How do we obtain this “good life”? It was not mentioned in schools, my family didn’t focus on it, and it’s from this place inside me that I feel this need for change, for something more, for something to radically change, for something to grow...
Like.Share.Reflect.
Thank you.
