Force of Nature
Force of Nature
Clover Hogan has been on the planet 24 years, and spent the past 13 working to save it. She believes it’s possible. She also believes that the threat even greater than climate change is how powerless we feel to stop it.
In Season 3, Clover invites us behind the scenes of what it’s really like to be a climate activist. You’re going to hear from activists on the stuff that doesn’t get talked about, like burnout, getting cancelled and the ethical compromises of making money. And even what it’s like to alienate friends and family. Over the season, we hope to find some answers: namely, what activism can look like when it's more open, honest and human. Make sure to stick around to the end of each episode, when our guests spill their climate confessions.
Listen to this podcast if you’re anxious that the future will be a dystopian blockbuster. If you know the solution is bigger than buying another reusable coffee cup. And if you want to make a difference but don’t know where to start.
After all, we don't need 100 perfect activists - but millions of imperfect ones.
