This is a book review of the Day After, How to Wield Power in a Post-Trump World by Brian Tyler Cohen on EnvironMental Podcast.

It's a different type of show than normal because I'm a big fan of Brian Tyler Cohen and I think supporting independent media is crucial right now.

In Part 5 of the Extractive Tapestry series, we’re shifting from top-down systemic corruption to the demand side of the climate equation. Aub breaks down how toxic influencer culture, algorithmic tech design, and fast fashion/beauty waste hijack our fundamental human need for community (Maslow’s Hierarchy Tier 3) and turn it into chronic overconsumption.

How does the judicial system block sustainability? In Part 4 of the Extractive Tapestry series on the EnvironMental Podcast deconstructs the legal frameworks that permit environmental degradation.

Moving past basic corruption narratives, this video essay traces how the 1787 U.S. Constitution prioritizes commercial capital over ecological survival. By analyzing recent landmark rulings—including Chevron v. Plaquemines Parish (2026), Sackett v. EPA, Seven County, and the gerrymandering decision in Louisiana v. Callais—the episode exposes how courts convert ecocide into technical compliance while legally disarming frontline communities.

Transitioning from the macro limitations of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to grassroots victories in Benson, Texas, this essay provides a tactical toolkit for local climate resistance, legal action via ClientEarth, and the push for Constitutional Green Amendments.

Why is the global sustainability transition failing?

In Part 3 of The Extractive Tapestry, we drop the raw data receipts on how the trillion-dollar modern war machine, corporate defense monopolies, and the military-industrial complex (MIC) structurally block renewable energy growth to protect private wealth and infinite expansion.

From the 1993 "Last Supper" Pentagon dinner that consolidated our plastic-wrapped, fossil-fuel-dependent lifestyle, to the modern revolving door of defense tech-bros and billionaire WhatsApp groups colluding to crush public dissent—we are pulling back the curtain on the design of the fail.

Are we being algorithmically trained to ignore the end of the world?

In Part 2 of The Shadow Architects, the gloves are off. We are tracing a 30-year timeline to expose how a small circle of billionaires—The Technocrats—used social media to build a psychological prison, and are now consuming the planet's physical resources to power it.

From Peter Thiel's anti-democracy blueprints and Meta's shadowban on the word "sustainability," to the breaking news of Anthropic selling out to lease Elon Musk's illegal, methane-burning supercomputer in Memphis—we are naming names.

Are we being gaslit by the people sworn to protect us? 80% of consumers are demanding real environmental impact, but the "Gatekeepers" at the top are busy legalizing destruction. In Part 1 of "The Shadow Architects," I’m naming names—from the FBI Director’s private jet scandals to the systematic dismantling of the EPA.

It’s time to stop the groupthink. We’re breaking down how public servants use "national security" and "economic growth" as a mask for personal waste and environmental dismantling.

Are you standing in the store aisle staring at leafy green packaging and wondering if you’re being played?

You aren’t alone—80% of consumers care about their impact, but most of us are exhausted by the sheer volume of self-proclaimed eco-friendliness.

Why is "away" the biggest lie in sustainability? In this episode of EnvironMental, Aub sits down with César González Fernández, the visionary behind Clean Something For Nothing, to discuss the massive shift from passive recycling to active "un-trashing."

📍 Get help telling your brand story: https://calendly.com/dandelion-branding/marketing

With over 883,000 kg of waste removed across 84 countries, César’s community is providing the longitudinal data that traditional waste management ignores. We’re dissecting why beauty is a metric for environmental health, how to mobilize a global network of "eco-curious baddies," and why individual action is the only antidote to corporate externalization.

This isn't a post-mortem. We’re digging into the regenerative agriculture solutions that are proving—with real, longitudinal data—that we don't need a bigger bug bomb. We need a serious pivot towards soil health.
