Just over 5 years ago, Sarah Baker created an Instagram account that they hoped would evolve into something more. A couple of months later, they had connected with some other activists and filmmakers and launched a film festival of Earth Day shorts in 2020 - just weeks after the pandemic lockdown. Five years later, the group of volunteer creatives say they are Making Earth Cool with a “collective that creates content and events using science, comedy & creativity to educate & inspire people to be better stewards of our only home, Earth.” Baker joins us to talk about this year’s screening of short films, and the community activities MEC is spearheading, including a parade later in the week and what it calls a kind of spiritual “Earth Ceremony.”
