The Most Important Question

Essay: The Illusion of Choice


Listen Later

This week:

It can be difficult as hell to understand when we don’t actually have a choice — and when we’ve got more options than we think. Deciphering the two is the key to the good stuff getting built way, way faster.

Here's What You Can Do:
  • Donate to The Greenling Institute to help communities of color build wealth and live in healthier, climate-resilient communities.
  • Volunteer with People for Bikes to make biking better for everyone by improving infrastructure, advancing policy, and removing barriers to participation.
  • Get educated about funding opportunities in your state to hire more apprentices in your trade, or receive tuition support to enter a trade.
  • Be heard about increased access to EV charging infrastructure, and have your city sandbox a pilot with it’s electric.
  • Invest your money through an eco-friendly bank using Might Deposits bank comparison tool.
