Description
EPISODE 104 SHOWNOTES
We begin with a gripping look at the birth of modern environmentalism, when a burning river and devastating oil spill sparked America's largest-ever demonstration: the first Earth Day. This unprecedented show of unity led to landmark environmental protections that shaped the next half-century.
Moving to the present, we tackle the paradox of our climate paralysis: despite having affordable solutions and facing escalating disasters, meaningful action remains elusive. We explore why – and more importantly, what actually works in creating change.
The final segment offers a clear-eyed look at the political challenges ahead, particularly the threats to environmental progress, while providing listeners with concrete ways to get involved through our comprehensive action guides: "A Call to Act" and "Trumping Trump."
