In this kick-off to this week's podcast shares, Corinna Bellizzi, host of Care More Be Better - a podcast focused on climate activism - offers her thoughts on why this pair of shows was chosen for our Earth Day podcast launch. You'll learn that the episode of Care More Be Better that Julie Lokun chose to feature for Earth Day was Corinna's interview with Paul Hawken -- and why Corinna chose Vertical Farming Podcast as the second feature. After listening to each of these shows, you will be primed and empowered to make a difference in your local community and around the globe. Climate activism is a team sport, after all -- and all hands on deck is what will be required to reverse global warming and return our ecosystems and our weather to a more balanced, normal state.
