Talking About Climate Change with Confidence: A Conversation with Dr. Alice Alpert Climate change is a topic that affects every one of us, yet it can feel confusing, overwhelming, or even polarizing. That's why I was excited to welcome Dr. Alice Alpert, Senior Scientist at the Environmental Defense Fund, to the Go Natural English podcast. Dr. Alpert studies emerging climate technologies, evaluates their real-world impact, and works with teams focused on methane, climate policy, and international sustainability partnerships. In our conversation, we explored misconceptions, sources of hope, daily sustainability habits, and clear English vocabulary related to the climate conversation. What Does a Climate Scientist Do? Dr. Alpert evaluates new climate solutions, from clean energy to carbon-removal technologies to sustainable farming. Her work starts with two key questions: Does this solution meaningfully help reduce climate impact? What are the trade-offs or challenges that come with it? Her job is not just to imagine solutions but to determine what actually works. The Biggest Misunderstanding About Climate Change Dr. Alpert explained that a major misconception is the idea that climate action is "all or nothing." People often believe: "It's too late to do anything," or "It's someone else's responsibility." Both mindsets lead to inaction. "You don't have to be perfect," she said. "Every step forward helps. The idea of 'everything or nothing' isn't useful." How She Stays Hopeful Climate news can feel heavy, so I asked what keeps her motivated. Her answer was simple: the future. "I have three kids. That's three votes for the future. We are moving in the right direction, and I think we'll get most of the way there." Her optimism is practical and rooted in evidence. Many climate solutions are already working and becoming more affordable. Misconceptions About Sustainability, Especially in Texas One surprising part of our conversation was about renewable energy in Texas. Many people assume Texas is not sustainable, but the opposite is true. Texas produces more clean energy than any other U.S. state, and by a huge margin. Wind, solar, and battery storage are growing rapidly. Much of this growth is driven by economics, not ideology. "It's the cheapest energy," she said. "People are making money from it." Another misconception is that sustainability is always more expensive. In reality, the cheapest new energy to build today is solar. Short-Term Costs vs. Long-Term Benefits Many sustainable choices cost more upfront but save money over time: installing solar panels, buying an electric vehicle, or purchasing high-quality items that last longer. I shared the example of clothing I've kept for more than a decade. A well-made sweater ended up costing less over time than several cheaper ones. Dr. Alpert agreed. "The upfront investment is real. But long-term thinking matters." Everyday Sustainability: What Works for You Dr. Alpert emphasized that sustainability should be personal and realistic. A few examples we discussed: Thrifting and Secondhand Shopping Buying used items reduces waste and builds community. Reusing Items for Children Circulating children's items among families increases their lifespan and reduces unnecessary purchases. Flexible Eating Habits She chooses what feels natural. She doesn't eliminate any foods, but she eats less beef because she doesn't enjoy it much and knows it has a higher climate impact. Her philosophy is simple: do what works for your lifestyle, not someone else's. Cultural Differences in Sustainability Many listeners of Go Natural English live in the United States but grew up abroad. If that describes you, you may have noticed differences in: recycling habits how food is packaged energy use transportation diet choices We would love to hear about your experiences and what surprised you when comparing sustainability practices around the world. Key English Vocabulary for Talking About Climate Change Because much climate information is published in English, we reviewed several useful terms. Carbon footprint The amount of greenhouse gases created by an activity. Carbon neutral No net increase in emissions; emissions are balanced by removals. Renewable or clean energy Energy sources that do not rely on fossil fuels. Examples include wind, solar, hydro, geothermal, and sometimes nuclear. Fossil fuels Coal, oil, and natural gas. Dr. Alpert jokingly compared them to "burning dinosaurs." Move the needle To make a meaningful impact or measurable improvement. In the same boat Facing the same challenge or depending on the same shared resource. Individual Actions and Leadership Actions While individual choices matter, Dr. Alpert pointed out something important: You cannot expect one person to "save the world." Leadership and policy matter too. So how do we hold leaders accountable? Voting, especially at the local level Joining conservation-minded organizations Speaking up through social media or letters Staying informed on local policies Supporting leaders who prioritize clean energy and sustainability These steps make a meaningful difference. Where to Learn More Dr. Alpert recommends two easy places to start: The book "Not the End of the World" by Hannah Ritchie

We've all been there: you walk into a vintage store, feel instantly overwhelmed by the "dress uppy" costumes and confusing eras, and leave with nothing. This week, Leigh is talking to vintage expert Tara Rowe, owner of the viral vintage wedding dress store Call Me The Breeze, about how to actually succeed at secondhand shopping. Tara explains why the secret isn't thrifting (which involves rummaging), but finding curated resellers who act as your personal "conduit" for the good stuff. She shares her tips for finding sellers who match your niche, why 90s fashion is the most in-demand era, and why there’s nothing cooler than saying "Oh, this? It's vintage."

On today's show, we're chatting with Hailey and Hallie –two best friends who turned their high school thrifting hobby into a thriving brick-and-mortar vintage shop in Asbury Park, New Jersey. Hailey and Hallie met in high school gym class, and bonded over their shared love of thrifting, Tumblr, fashion, and magazines. They started thrifting together and listing their finds on Depop as a fun creative outlet after school. As they grew up, the shop's story evolved – the duo opened their first brick-and-mortar store in a tiny beach town while finishing up school. They've since moved their brick-and-mortar twice– landing in the heart of downtown Asbury Park. Along the way, they've built an incredible community, devoted customers, and hosted fashion shows that sold nearly a thousand tickets! In this episode, they share how they balance managing their store and their Depop simultaneously, why they pivoted from thrift store sourcing to private buying appointments, and their most memorable finds. If you've ever wondered what it would be like to dig through garages and attics for decades-old treasure with your best friend and business partner – well, listen up! It's a really fun one – let's dive right in! DISCUSSED IN THE EPISODE: [3:54] Finding the styles they admired from Tumblr at the thrift store.

In this solo episode I'm talking all things THRIFTING! Shopping second hand can feel like the perfect loop hole for your little treats, without breaking the bank or the environment. But the guilt-free dopamine dispenser of shopping second hand, whether on apps like Vinted and Depop, or in op shops, charity shops and vintage stores, can lead to unhelpful behavioural cycles that leave you with more questions than answers. In my year-long experiment of not buying any clothes, I banned thrifting too. Now, I'm learning to integrate second hand shopping back into my overall approach to clothing and style, and WOW, I learned a lot. This episode will share my insights into the dopamine trap of second hand shopping, and the skills to master in order to be able to do it mindfully.

Thrifting has long been a favorite pastime of Seattleites, so much so that we have the biggest Goodwill store in the world. But buying second-hand is also an economic survival strategy for people who can't pay full price on back-to-school clothes or home appliances. Now, in this increasingly expensive city, there's a sense that thrift stores are no longer fitting that need.

In this episode, we're joined by Kansas City entrepreneur Emily Bordner, founder and creative director of EB and Co., a modern accessories brand known for its effortless, elevated designs that spark confidence and celebrate individuality. We talk about the early days of building her brand from scratch, what sparked the initial idea, and how her pop-up shops turned into a thriving business. Emily shares the reality of juggling motherhood with entrepreneurship and the pivotal moment she realized EB and Co. was really taking off—yes, there's a Taylor Swift story! Emily's journey began back in 2012 when she couldn't find the perfect handbag: something modern, simple, affordable, and high quality. So, like many great startup stories, she decided to create her own. What started with a line of handmade leather bags quickly grew into a full collection of jewelry, cards, and hair accessories—now sold in boutiques across Kansas City, Colorado, and Texas. Whether you're dreaming of launching your own venture or simply love hearing real, inspiring stories from women making bold moves, this conversation is packed with heart, hustle, and helpful insights. In this episode, Emily shares: What inspired her to launch EB and Co. Whether entrepreneurship was always part of her story The very first product she ever sold—and what she remembers about that moment The biggest challenges she faced in the early days of her business How she balances being a mom while running a fast-growing brand The “pinch-me” moment that proved EB and Co. had arrived (Taylor alert!) What this journey has taught her personally and professionally Her No.1 piece of advice for young women ready to chase big dreams Also, don't miss Emily's book coming out soon, The Retailer's Play-Book! "Let's be real — you didn't open your store to cry over QuickBooks, drown in dusty inventory, or wonder if your receipts spark joy. You opened it to build something fun, profitable, and totally you. Enter The Retailer's Playbook — the no-fluff, no-debt, all-heart guide to running a brick-and-mortar biz that actually works (and wows). Emily Bordner went from digging through leather scraps to seeing Taylor Swift wear her jewelry — and she's spilling everything she learned along the way. Inside, you'll find ten juicy, tried-and-tested ways to: Make more money (without selling your soul or your sanity) Find your niche and shout it from the rooftops Master merch like a pro — no design degree required Delegate like a boss and stop doing all the things Turn browsers into superfans and foot traffic into paychecks Whether you're dreaming of your first storefront or scaling your next empire, this book is your permission slip to do retail your way — with strategy, soul, and staying power. Warning: May cause spontaneous confidence, clarity, and “holy crap, I can actually do this” energy." What We're Loving In Kansas City Back to School Shopping Hack Megan is trying something new this year with her almost eleven year old daughter! She has been given $100 to spend on back to school shopping with the goal to make it go as far as she can! She had her daughter inventory her clothes and shoes and then make a list. Thrifting has quickly proven to be the way to go so far! This has been a fun way to give her some control while gaining financial literacy at the same time. Check out our thrifting guide here. Margaritaville Sarah got to check out Kansas' new Margaritaville! Margaritaville Hotel Kansas City is now open in Kansas City, KS, bringing island vibes to the Midwest.

We did it, Chicks and Roosters! We've officially reached 200 episodes — and this one is a full-on celebration.
While thrift stores are nothing new, they’re becoming more popular as shoppers deal with rising costs of living and even in some cases earn a living as resellers. The secondhand clothing industry is projected to grow about three times faster than the overall apparel market. We hear from thrifters around the country and Ali Rogin speaks with Poshmark founder and CEO Manish Chandra for more. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders
