a new semester brings on new hosts and new topics! Caroline, our greenhouse manager, and Jess, our digital marketing intern, joined by Wes, the sustainability director, celebrate National Day of Simplicity (July 12, 2021) in honor of author and philosopher Henry David Thoreau. as the new hosts find our "podcast voices," we ponder our own patterns of consumption and offer ways to practice mindfulness.
