"Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life." - Mary Oliver. This week, we explore how a local organization is pushing for climate action. The moral of the story? Set healthy boundaries and keep going. Climate Action Campaign's Nicole Capretz shares her tips for becoming a rabble-rouser, navigating local politics, and holding government accountable.

Thank you to our listeners for a fantastic season 1!

Where does our energy come from, and how does it get there? This week, we explore generated power. Almost everything we do requires some form of energy - from filling up your gas tank, tuning in to your favorite podcast, or cooking your favorite meal. San Diego Community Power's Nelson Lomeli teaches us about environmental racism, engaging in the democratic process, and how to demand cleaner, greener energy.

With the average American home containing over 300,000 items, it's no wonder why so many of us struggle with clutter. Despite what advertisers and marketers tell us, our lives are more than what we buy or the stuff we own. This week, we chat with Rosey Williams about living mindfully, voting with our dollars, and the business case for diverting our waste streams away from landfills.
