Getting take-out in your own reusable container, recycling bubble-wrap properly, and getting arrested – it's all in a day's work for an eco-superhero. Stephanie and Dave learn about climate activism with Extinction Rebellion, sharing quirky sustainability life hacks on social media, and the joy of a 58-hour train trip – from Stephanie's former co-worker and friend, James Comiskey.

Find out...

• why James is angry and thinks he has a right to be
• if #AmtrakLife should be your new favorite hashtag
• why Steve Bannon wears three shirts at one time
• why Dave proposes we organize a conference for journalists (spoiler, we can't resist: to "deprogram" the pro-growth bias that's been instilled in them)

On the GrowthBusters podcast, we come to terms with the limits to growth, explore the joy of sustainable living, and provide a recovery program from our society's growth addiction (economic/consumption and population). This podcast is part of the GrowthBusters project to raise awareness of overshoot and end our culture's obsession with, and pursuit of, growth.

Dave Gardner directed the documentary GrowthBusters: Hooked on Growth, which Stanford Biologist Paul Ehrlich declared "could be the most important film ever made." Co-host, and self-described "energy nerd," Stephanie Gardner has degrees in Environmental Studies and Environmental Law & Policy.
