Benji Backer, author of ‘The Conservative Environmentalist’ and founder of the American Conservation Coalition, joins Robbie to talk about his middle ground political approach to environmentalism - a mantra Blood Origins itself is deeply familiar with. Benji and Robbie have been trying to connect on a podcast for some time, first through Blood Origins’ podcast producer Cody McLaughlin and then a second time through a common connection of Toby Lavigne. The two discuss Benji’s bird hunting hobby, his big game ambitions, growing up with vegans, what it means to be a conservative environmentalist, and much more. It’s a strong narrative discussion between two individuals that passionately believe in a middle ground to pushing a narrative of sustainability forward
