Transcript: Welcome to Sustainabold, an upcoming podcast on sustainability from an interdisciplinary perspective. I'm Rosalie, and I'll be mostly bringing in insights from Earth and Environmental Science and business management, which my education is rooted in, in addition to a mix of other social sciences to provide a holistic view of emergent theories and practices exhibited by both individuals and organizations. If you're interested in sustainability from a perspective like this, I welcome you to join me on this journey. Rather than only taking up space, I also plan to use this podcast to elevate Black voices, talk about intersectionalism, and share resources with one another on other related movements like abolition for those that are interested. Since I've been feverishly rewatching Avatar and Legend of Korra, I can't get the concept of balance out of my head. Balance in reference to both the individual and the world. Guru Pathik to Aang. You must gain balance within yourself before you can bring balance to the world. Iroh tells the same thing to Zuko all the time, as he has trouble finding his purpose. In these moments, I feel exactly like Zuko when he meets up with Aang and the rest of the group — as if I know I'm on the right side of history, but haven't found my place within that side yet. This extended analogy is really just to say that I want this podcast to help myself and others think through and brainstorm how to achieve sustainability in a meaningful way that doesn't alienate others in the process. We can't have a sustainable society without a society to flourish. I hope you join me in learning and engaging about sustainability so we can move forward from a similar starting point. Thanks for listening, and I'll see you soon!
