115 - Why Become a Flexitarian

The raising of livestock is one of the major contributors to greenhouse gas. 

Our industrial meat production processes are cruel and inhumane to the animals as well as the people who work within the system.

The over-eating of meat is a major contributor to the decline in health of the planet's population.

So why not change things up a bit?

Flexitarian is the new buzzword for those who have decided to give up a bit of meat, use meat substitutes, and generally try for a bit of moderation in their diet.

113 - Have We Reached Peak Climate Change?

Since the beginnings of the industrial revolution, economic greed and industrial activity have behaved like frat boys at an open bar.  The result - a changing climate that threatens our very existence on this planet.

But have political will, economics and technology all aligned at this moment to ensure that the worst is behind us and the healing has begun?  President Biden has recently announced a $2 trillion sustainability package.  Corporations and investors are abandoning fossil fuel projects and flocking to renewables.  The solar industry grew 47% during a pandemic year.

112 - Adapting Your Property to a Changing Climate

If you have been paying attention, you will notice that the climate is changing.  Plants and trees that used to thrive are dying off.  Pollinators are disappearing.  The seasons seem to arrive early - or late.  It is too wet, then too dry.

Climate change is real and it is here now.  So how can we adapt our property, gardens and forests to deal with this new reality?
