Everybody in the Pool

E100: Together, we can get this done


Listen Later

This week on Everybody in the Pool, we’re celebrating our 100th episode with a look at what matters most: your actions.

Since this show began a little over two years ago, the goal has been simple — to spotlight innovation, ingenuity, and capital coming together to tackle the climate crisis. Hope is stronger than fear, but hope alone isn’t a plan. This milestone episode is about agency — the choices we make in our own lives, and how together, those choices add up to systemic change.


Listeners wrote in and sent voice memos sharing the climate actions they’ve taken:


  • Investing through platforms like Climatize to fund renewable energy projects
  • Moving retirement savings and banking into fossil fuel–free funds and community credit unions
  • Cutting back on red meat, shifting diets, and sourcing local food
  • Tackling food waste with apps like FlashFood and composting with Mill (our presenting sponsor for this week’s episode)
  • Retrofitting homes with solar, heat pumps, and energy efficiency upgrades
  • Rethinking careers, transportation, and even family planning with the climate in mind


Along the way, we revisit powerful clips from past episodes and highlight the ripple effects of these solutions — from decarbonizing finance to building circular food systems.


Thank you to everyone who has listened, shared, and taken action. This episode is a reminder that we are not helpless — our feedback, votes, purchases, and investments all send signals that drive change. Drops become a flood.
