Time to discuss this week's news: letting go of Mike Tauchman, Nick Madrigal, Patrick Wisdom and more players. They are $50 million, give or take, under the first tier of the luxury tax.

In this episode of the How to Protect the Ocean podcast, host Andrew Lewin discusses practical ways for individuals to reduce their carbon footprint. Here are the key strategies highlighted: Calculate Your Carbon Footprint: Start by determining your current carbon footprint using a reliable calculator. Understanding your baseline is essential for tracking progress. Food Choices: Opt for Plant-Based Diets: Shift from meat, especially beef, to more plant-based proteins. This can significantly reduce your food-related carbon emissions by 50-80%. Buy Local: Purchase food from local farmers or farmers' markets to minimize the carbon footprint associated with transportation and mass production. Local farm food is generally more sustainable than imported or factory-farmed options. Clothing Purchases: Avoid Fast Fashion: Steer clear of fast fashion brands that use synthetic fibers. Instead, consider investing in higher-quality, sustainable clothing made from natural materials like wool. Thrift Shopping: Buy second-hand clothes from thrift shops to reduce waste and avoid contributing to the fast fashion cycle. Sustainable Business Practices: If you are in a position to influence workplace policies, advocate for sustainable practices. This can include forming employee-led sustainability committees to promote eco-friendly initiatives. Implement energy-efficient solutions, such as replacing incandescent light bulbs with energy-efficient alternatives, which can drastically reduce power consumption. By following these steps, individuals can not only lower their carbon footprint but also contribute to a more sustainable future. Andrew encourages listeners to share their experiences and progress in reducing their carbon footprint.

The documentary Mirage Men detailed how US intelligence officials and the United States military have conducted counterintelligence operations against private citizens, attempting to convince them that UFOs, and by default, aliens, are visiting earth. Many of the classic UFO narratives, from underground bases, to aliens visiting earth for resources and even making deals with select humans, are all part of the official disinformation campaign. There are countless books, films, and whistleblowers, who continue to promote the same stories, passing them on from the second and third and fourth hand accounts to future generations. Whether the intelligence community and military seek to disinform and misinform to keep the public and foreign governments unaware of secret projects, or for some other reason, we must extremely careful what we believe. This is especially true when we consider that belief is nothing more than faith, which is nothing more than dogma. Still, there is something behind the phenomena that may not be human. Or, such things could be superhuman. Poltergeists are often thought to relate to times of adolescence, and particularly to females, in the sense that changing emotions cause outbursts of psychic energy. Anger, sexual desire, etc., are powerful energies to contend with, and are documented to interfere with electronics. The same can be said about the UFO's apparent interest in war and nuclear weapons. War is a time of intense stress and so perhaps that stress works to manifests these things, just as atomic weapons tamper with the very subatomic nature of reality and therefore may encourage inter dimensional incursions.

“If you are concerned about the energetic imprint that your clothes will have when you put them on, and you purchase something new, then it is, in my opinion, impossible to separate the ethics of how the clothing was made from the energy that it will imprint on you.” Reiki Master and Spiritual Life Coach Maria Lopez talks about the spirituality of secondhand shopping, the energy of buying something new (particularly if it was unethically made), how we can incorporate mindfulness throughout our day, the importance of being an imperfect activist, and how we can create the world we want.

I can hardly believe it's already November…that means the holidays are just around the corner! As many of us dive into our holiday shopping and scanning online sales, don't forget about all the local businesses that still need our support! This includes your local thrift shops, too. To view the full show notes, continue reading here or visit my website: http://www.heartfelthippie.com (www.heartfelthippie.com) Shopping secondhand is one of my favorite ways to shop for two main reasons. First, it's friendly on the budget. Second, it's friendly on the earth. A lot of natural resources, predominantly water, are required to produce new clothing. And then, often times these clothes end up getting discarded once we're finished with them or, even worse, they were never purchased in the first place! Of course, this isn't even to mention the human exploitation that occurs in the fast fashion industry, too. Thrift shopping is a great way to avoid contributing to so many of these problems! And what better time to dive into the fun than when we're all maxing out or credit cards - holiday shopping! Thrifted items can make wonderful gifts - whether it's clothes and shoes or other types of items like home decor, sports gear, toys, kitchenware, furniture, and so much more! And because it's so budget-friendly, you'll be able to give even more to that special someone! As you go about your holiday shopping this year, consider what items you could find secondhand. And if after listening you still don't think thrift shopping is for you, try another method of shopping secondhand, such as consignment shopping, buying from online resellers, or participating in a clothing swap. The fun never ends when it comes to shopping used! My top tips for thrifting: Know the difference between thrift shopping and consignment shopping. Search your area for the best thrift shops and look for less popular shops. Have an idea of what your looking for ahead of time. Wear solid colors and dress in layers when you go shopping. Ignore sizes and genders. Check for stains, tears and odors before you buy. Get over the gross factor! Check labels for brands, materials, and care instructions. Practice visualizing the item in your home or closet. Be patient and persistent. Set a budget. Ask about discounts and bring your own bag!
