People Do What’s Easy, Obvious, and Convenient
Today we open the container with environmental journalist, Sophie Benson.
Doug begins the show discussing the need for sustainability; both due to consumer behavior and in order to achieve environmental conservation. He explores the idea that individuals gravitate towards choices that are easy, obvious, and convenient, which directly impacts their decision making processes and spending habits.
Doug is then joined by Sophie Benson, a journalist whose work focuses on sustainable fashion, the environment, workers’ rights, and consumerism. Their discussion takes a look at the complexities of human behavior in outdoor settings, where hikers frequently opt for shortcuts, underscoring the challenge of encouraging environmentally responsible practices.
Doug and Sophie go on to examine the relationship between sustainability, economic viability, and the welfare of our communities while positing that meaningful change necessitates a holistic approach that integrates ethical considerations with practical solutions.
