Jonni and Maria Go There!

There’s No Planet B: Climate Anxiety and Products and Policies to Give Us Hope


Listen Later

Jonni and Maria chat about the ways we try to be conscious consumers and kinder to the environment. We share our favorite green products and habits (you’ll love!) and discuss recent historic U.S. and state climate change legislation as winning steps in the right direction. We also talk about climate anxiety (it's real, ya'll) and the surprising true story behind the 1970's "Crying Indian" public service ad campaign that made us all feel guilty for littering. Which we should feel guilty, but when you hear who funded this campaign and why, you’ll get fired up, we're sure. We also share our own small behavior changes that can empower you and your family to make a difference, too.

Plus, back-to-school drama, retail holiday pressure, modern education, letting people into your house when you're not there, remote technology, and more tomfoolery.
