In our inaugural episode, Amanda and Andrew talk about the Seventh Principle and what the "interdependent web" means in light of the 50th anniversary of Earth Day and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Topics covered include snake oil online ads, ethical consumption and veganism, social movements, what's essential and what's BS in the 21st century economy, the ups and downs of online worship and UU community, and whether "social distancing" is even the right word for the present moment.
