**New intro created by Chad Kendziorski!** A lot has changed since I was recording regularly. As I find time to regroup and work more on WACC I want to talk about the changes I've made in lifestyle and views. I'm uploading this from Nicaragua but I recorded before I left! Hasta!

IMPORTANT: red tide comes from algae overgrowth, not whatever I said. Also, this is not episode 59...despite me insisting it was, haha! In episode FIFTY EIGHT I talk about the problems we face with actors (companies, governments, people, etc.) saying they will do something one way and then act differently. Why is it important for us to hold those we support accountable? I also discuss societal issues brought up by some university courses I'm currently taking.

I do my very best to not claim one solution to our world's problems. The world is never as simple. We know this especially in regards to the environment, many things affect it. But I do think kindness has the potential to make a lot of issues even just a little better. Detailed show notes at Weallcanchange.com/podcast Support my work at Weallcanchange.com/donate

A thought came to me about why I feel rather calm about money, the economy, pandemics, etc. I have seen the alternatives that thrive without those things, and they look pretty darn good.

Neither corporations nor Individuals are the sole solution to healing the earth. There seems to be a back and fourth on individual action vs political. Can one person make a difference?

Wow, what a month. I have battled a ton with whether or not I should talk about the Coronavirus. I don't want to add to the noise or chaos.

Like everything else which is good in the world, businesses have recognized the market of sustainable products. I believe this is mostly a good thing. It has also led to the continued overconsumption of things in our life. We are still being told the same "this thing will make you happy", but now by buying it you are helping the planet. No product comes without a footprint on the planet. In this episode I dig into these ideas. Enjoy! Detailed show notes at Weallcanchange.com/podcast Support my work at Weallcanchange.com/donate

Climate change is not a good reason to change. It is not what we should be pushing as the reason for people to make changes.

The good ole outdoors. It's a place to escape, to connect, or to feel a part of something. Interacting with the natural world in this way feels like we must be helping it. This isn't always the case. In this episode I talk about the impacts we have on nature and some ways to mitigate those impacts. Detailed show notes at Weallcanchange.com/podcast Support my work at Weallcanchange.com/donate

We've all been there. It's a conversation at the dinner table, a debate in a classroom, an argument at a party. These conversations we have are often about important issues. That's why we care so much, and that's why they are so difficult. In this episode I talk about how to approach conversations like these, how to walk away from them, and how to lead with compassion. Enjoy! Let me know what you think. Detailed show notes at Weallcanchange.com/podcast Support my work at Weallcanchange.com/donate

The day I was meant to record this episode I felt pretty bad, so I decided to talk about the feelings I was having and just be real for a bit. I talk about self doubt in making an impact on the planet. I also ask myself if freelance writing is the right path for me or not? I don't want money to be the priority of WACC but freelance also doesn't feel like me either. Maybe it doesn't have to be me though. Anywho, just know this isn't your standard episode. Enjoy!

Do you know where we all came from? If we are talking about the scientific evolutionary view, we came from the Ocean.

Welcome to the chaos. In this episode I'm doing something a little different. As one of the last weekends in the U.S. I needed to spend it with friends.

Expect mostly laughs with a little bit of environmental stuff. Detailed show notes at Weallcanchange.com/podcast Support my work at Weallcanchange.com/donate
