013: Building New Earth From The Bottom Up
Do you ever look around at our planet and wonder why the government isn’t doing more to help? In truth, the agencies we look to to protect and steward our environment are not actually set up to do so, in part because of capitalistic pressures, mindsets, and structures.
But no fear, there is still hope! In this episode Queenie sits down with Alvaro Campomanes of GeoARI to talk about how real change we need is already happening from the bottom up. From rewilding to building communities, and everything in between, real change starts with individuals like you.
And that might seem daunting, but this episode lays out ways you can start being a part of that change now, whether you’re living in an apartment or have any amount of land of your own.
Together, we are building New Earth.
