56 min - 17. Sustainability is a Journey; Living on a Farm W/ Scott Yelton
Show notes:
- Today I had my first in person and on location recording with my dad, Scott Yelton!
- Scott is currently a pasture raised chicken farmer in Oregon who has spent the last two decades of his life exploring what sustainability looks like to him and how to make a sustainable life style work for him, his family, and his values in a world that is hyper focused on money, advertising, and selling to children.
- After spending most of his time working for companies that help promote a greener future and lifestyle he set out to give farming a try. He now finds value in his work and contentment in knowing where his food comes from and the chance to return back to the earth.
- He even got his masters in ecology and sustainability, but tells us that we don't need a fancy degree to learn about sustainability, or anything in that mannor.
- Scott says that the best thing you can do is to start. Start learning, start a practice, engage in conversations, and get outside to re-connect with nature.
- Thank you for listening and if you can please leave a review and share this podcast with someone who might like to hear it!

Show notes:
- Kate shares her favorite quote "Create a better world for those yet to exist"
- Intro: I share bits of advice for those who have started their activism journey or wants to! Go for it, you are needed, and it's okay if you make mistakes, you learn from them! What's important is you go into this journey with an open mind to learning. Activism is a journey, not a place or end goal.
- Kate is a photographer, graphic designer, painter, student, diver, activist, and so much more. She does her best to live a sustainable lifestyle through every facet of life. She even works at a zero waste store where she can directly help people cut down on their use of plastic! She also lives in Hawaii so I can easily get up close and personal with the plastic pollution problem. Her goal is to create content that inspires people to practice activism in their own life, from whatever corner of the world they are currently in! She is working on a film to show case all this!
- Kate shares her own experiences that lead her to become involved with conservation and sharing educational content about plastic and microplastic. She also shares about her own activism journey and how it's a process and always evolving! Pick something you care about and want to change and get involved to make a difference!

1 hr 2 min - 14. The Importance of Connecting to Nature and your Community W/ Jenn Wang
Show notes:
- Thank you Jenn for sharing your favorite quote and what it means to you!
- Today we discuss how so many cultures and communities life a lifestyle of connecting with their communities and to nature/the earth; but we also point out that western culture doesn't find value in these lifestyles and how we can see that throughout history and still in modern day times.
- It is so important to find connection to nature daily, and it can be as simple as stopping to feel the breeze on your face.
- Take time to stop and smell the roses, for real!!
- Jenn and I were both fortunate to grow up in schools that valued education around connecting with and protecting the planet. We both believe that this should be taught in all schools.
- Start with small changes in action. This will create a butterfly effect, also known as the ripple effect!

- Welcome Ayush Kesari, a travel expert from India!
- Today we talk about how sustainability looks different all over the world: materialistically, economically, and socially.
- We touch on how even in remote un-inhabited places it is easy and clear to see the effects of climate change, from watching glaciers melt to finding trash in the middle of nowhere.
- Finally we talk a little bit about how there is a great possibility to use travel as a drive for change and sustainability, because travelers (notice how I didn't say tourists), usually have an open mind to learning.
