So after doing the daily for nearly 40 episodes, I'm moving to America, which means I need to take a bit of a break to move my entire life across the Pacific ocean. I will hopefully be back in some capacity after the move, but it will depend on my job situation, living situation, etc. Make sure to follow me to get updates on what's happening! Thank you all so much for tuning in. I'll be back!

By deflecting the blame onto individuals, they take the focus off of themselves, but does that mean you shouldn't bother with individual action?

Continuing my previous discussion of what's in the green new deal, today we're discussing the social, economic, and national security issues brought on by climate change.
Post recording note: Man guys, today I was just out of it. I was tired, my thoughts weren't fully formed, my internet was dropping in and out...Everything was just a mess on this day. I apologize for how bad this talk was. Tomorrow will be better.

Sorry guys, today's daily sucks as a podcast because we're meeting my dog, Manoa, live! Come check the video on YouTube, unless you just want to hear my dogs feet pitter-pattering on the floor and me praising my dog for doing tricks. I'll make better podcast-oriented content in the future!

I've been wanting to do a video talking about the Green New Deal for a while, since it's become politically taboo to mention. In actuality, it (or something like it) is what we need to protect the environment and a future that we all want. Today, we're talking about just one part of it: the IPCC's findings on climate change!

On the 2nd ever Funday Monday, I decided to talk about something a friend recently asked me: how do you pick a boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife? How do you know they're the one? So I came up with an analogy that I think perfectly fits the bill!

Continuing yesterdays discussion about why I'm quitting meat. We talked about the emotions and feelings involved in eating meat, then we thought about how that meat is connected to the world around me. Today, we're going to look a little bit into some science behind those feelings to see if those feelings are justified. A real-life example of how to Live ECO.
