Previously known as the Angry Environmentalist, our host, Taylor Ganis, has re-branded to the Hopeful Environmentalist with a mission to spread more hope in the climate space; because with hope and community, all things are possible.
Climate change is here, and it's already wreaking havoc on millions of people from around the world. The Hopeful Environmentalist Podcast provides educational and hope-based discussions with incredible environmentalists and storytellers to both educate and empower us all to become change makers. Together, we can continue our journey towards a better world, while using our hope (and sometimes millions of other intense feelings) to guide us.
This podcast is for EVERYONE, and we encourage those who may be new to the environmental space to reach out with any questions!

REMINDER: Hope and action MUST go hand in hand. Without action NOW, there is no hope. So take a listen to this podcast and learn about different ways that you can take action and become a part of the movement of change.
