Episode Details

1. On this episode of The Green Elephant in the Room we investigate animal and plant exceptionalism. It’s easy for us to consider humans as the pinnacle of creation, but we share the earth with other planetary beings that often exceed our own abilities. We only had room on the podcast to feature a few, but check out the webpage for stories about horses that have plans for hurricanes, a fish that lives well over 100 years, and the recently discovered secret language of elephants. 

2. Our demand for the most common solid substance on earth is voracious. It is the foundation of our civilization, and we are running out of it. It’s a worldwide crisis that nobody has heard about. Tune in and find out what this mysterious ingredient is.
