We are living in what is considered to be a new environmental movement. But what is "the environment" and why should we even care about it? This podcast aims to look at the connections between the environment, our society, and all that messy stuff in-between. With a mix of educational topics and current events, we will explore art, culture, economics, politics, and so many other aspects of existing in the 21st century along the way.
Hi, it’s been a while… It’s been a whole six months since the last episode of this show, and I am so sorry for being MIA that whole time. Tonight is the eve of the 2020 presidential election and the country faces a very difficult road ahead of us for the next few days and weeks. In this episode, I catch y'all up on what has been going on in my life and I try to lay out my argument for voting for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. I also try to lay out a rough path forward for this podcast and my journey in the climate fight.
