Episode 85 :: Lee & Jerry: Actions for a Better World in a Time of Climate Change and U.S. Extre
Each month we follow the featured interview of the podcast with updates from our (Lee and Jerry) other activities. But we never have much time for such—just a couple of headlines. So in this episode you learn more about the what and why of our activities beyond podcasting. We also take another look at the important issues brought to us by recent interviewees.
This episode comes to you with the awareness that August 2 is Earth Overshoot Day—the day when the people of the U.S. have used up the full share of the resources Earth provides us in 2017. The remaining 5 months we borrow from the future. Be sure to see the official website of Earth Overshoot Day to learn more about this important day that’s so fast approaching.
