In this episode, we explore the concept of "defaulting to sustainability" and how individual actions, while important, are not enough to combat climate change. Dr. Thiel shares her personal experiences of navigating sustainability through different life stages, emphasizing the need for systemic changes that make sustainable choices easier and more accessible for everyone. The episode encourages listeners to reflect on their own sustainability journeys, advocate for change within their communities, and focus on the next steps they can take, no matter where they are on their path.

This episode delves into the complexities of plastic pollution, sparked by the discovery of a decades-old candy wrapper on a beach. We go beyond simple solutions and explore the nuances of plastic's role in our lives, the potential of bioplastics, and the importance of initiatives like the UN Plastics Treaty. Join us as we discuss how to move past "yes, but" thinking and embrace collaborative solutions for a more sustainable future.

This is a personal story about resilience.

Getting back into climate writing and action, even if the weather is so nice, it's disturbing.

Another episode from the blog. Asking "Why?" is crucial for developing better systems.

In honor of Earth Week, we're launching a Love and Guilt in the Anthropocene podcast. While we work out the kinks of recording and editing audio, we'll be reading through back posts of the blog. Hopefully, this will expand into something special - and hopefully, this expansion will help you connect with sustainability in new ways.
