SHOWNOTES
What we are trying do with this podcast is a delicate balance between sharing the frightful truth about what is happening to our planet, all the while trying give you hope that you are part of the solution, that we can avert the worse consequences of what could potentially be catastrophic. 

The grand issue is, climate and environment are totally infused in our lives — considering the scale of what is happening, we rarely hear or talk about it. 

 So that’s why we are fearlessly launching a special format called News of the Future, where we discuss what we will all be talking and reading about in the not too distant future. 

Our goal with News of the Future, is to share with you, multiple stories and examples impacting both humans and the rest of the living world. We are hoping that something you hear, will click with you, something will stick with you, encouraging you to grasp the extent of the predicament we’re in.  

The first step in preventing climate and ecological change is recognizing them as the threat they are.

  • Covid delivers a record drop in CO2 emissions. Is it a drop in the bucket? 
  • Even with the drop in CO2, the massive forest fires brought it back up.
  •  Rivers are changing color — and we’re not sure why.
  •  Manatees for Trump — start of a sick cycle?
  •  The Michelin Restaurant Guide goes vegan. 
  •  Work for the Future — Your guide to Green Jobs
  •  How old are you in CO2?
  •  When it comes to climate and environment, the single most effective thing you can do.
