In this week's episode, host Daniel Raimi talks with Lisa Rennels, a PhD candidate at the University of California, Berkeley, about a class of synthetic industrial chemicals used in air-conditioners, refrigerators, and other technologies: hydrofluorocarbons. Rennels discusses the proliferation of these chemicals in recent decades, the cost of hydrofluorocarbon emissions to society, the feedback loop between global warming and increased use of these chemicals for air-conditioning, and global efforts to reduce the emissions of hydrofluorocarbons.

I woke up at 1:15 in the morning and reached for something boring to read so I could go back to sleep. It was a mistake. The book I found was The Impossible Will Take a Little While, edited by Paul Rogat Loeb. Its subtitle was Perseverance and Hope in Troubled Times. And it was perfect…and imperfect. Perfect because it had 52 short essays by people I have admired for years. Brilliant thinkers and writers like Alice Walker, Desmond Tutu, Diane Ackerman, Vaclav Havel and John Lewis. Arundhati Roy, and Bill McKibben. One of the best pieces was by Parker Palmer, a former sociology professor at Beloit College. Wow! Not casual reading. They were stories about grace. Imagination, courage, radical dignity, and justice. Mr. Loeb’s book was imperfect for the job, though, because at 1:15am one does not want to be stimulated or inspired. One wants to sleep! I originally found that book, by the way, in a Little Free Library across from the Logan Museum of Anthropology on the Beloit College campus,

If you've ever wondered "is my activism actually accomplishing anything?" this is the book for you. When you feel like you're only shouting into the wind, when you're tempted to listen to friends who say nothing will ever change, Paul Rogat Loeb has the antidote. The book seamlessly weaves inspiring examples of unexpected everyday heroes, ordinary people who have achieved successful activism and made a difference in their communities, with lessons for each of us in our daily strivings to make the world better. Environmental writer and activist Bill McKibben said, “Soul of a Citizen has been a powerful inspiration to citizens acting for environmental sanity, showing how they can take committed stands, even if they don’t know every last answer. The new edition is even more inspirational.” And Jonathan Kozol raves, “I stayed up half the night reading Soul of a Citizen, finding it a beautiful and morally transcendent work. Paul Loeb is a personal hero of mine who gives decency and generosity a political character, in the humblest of ways. The new edition is magnificent.”
