SHOW NOTES

This is the third in a series of podcasts that dynamically demonstrates a proven process for making rapid progress on climate, against the backdrop of an increasingly urgent timeline.

How do you deal with problems as diverse as manatees starving in Florida, the ocean of plastic in our oceans, the staggering problem of food waste, the devastation of palm oil plantations, the heartbreaking slaughter of elephants for ivory, air pollution killing millions annually, the leveling of ancient forests, and thousands and thousands of other harms ravaging the planet? 

Seriously, how can we even begin to start to solve problems so diverse?

This grand battle plan is only going to be effective if we fight it on two fronts. 

There is much discussion about whether the most effective method is personal responsibility with our daily consumer choices or demanding more climate and ecological action from our governments and corporations. 

We need both for the sweeping changes required to achieve a carbon drawdown economy. 

Research suggests that taking individual responsibility for the environment increases your concern for it, which in turn motivates you to participate in other forms of action.

One can often led to the other.

We are offering up both: a proven method of driving governments to implement universal change and a suite of personal actions, activities, and engagements to propel us forward.
