In honor of Earth Day, Karen talks with Jacob Reed about raising environmentalists and simple things to do to help save the planet. It can be a scary and overwhelming proposition to think about climate change and the crises we will leave to our children to solve, but inaction is irresponsible and making small simple changes can help us feel more active and be part of the solution.
While many of us as individuals thoughtfully work hard to reduce our carbon footprint, Jacob centers the discussion on the primary role and immense impact of big business on damaging our ecosystems and how to use your vote, your voice, and your purchasing power to affect change.
