Sydney Rodman on Orthodox Judaism, Invasive Species, and Life-Affirming Environmentalism


Listen Later

In this episode I speak with Sydney Rodman, founder of Green Revival. She offers a refreshing perspective on nature and climate action rooted in Orthodox Judaism, challenging the doom-focused environmental movement with a life-affirming approach to solving ecological problems. We discuss:

* How her journey to Orthodox Judaism shaped her ecological worldview and approach to business.

* The concept of "sourcing" that connects her faith, scientific background, and company mission.

* Why invasive species management presents both ecological challenges and economic opportunities.

* How the Jewish concept of tikkun olam (repairing the world) informs environmental stewardship.

* Why climate action must be centered on celebrating life rather than focusing exclusively on carbon.
