Everyone says, ‘Act Local, Think Global,’ but most people ‘Act Local, Think Local’ because that’s what they know and that’s okay––It’s the system they’re in. It’s the way we’ve developed. But when we do that we end up in our little silos.
In this episode, George and Cole talk about environmental justice, the Boston clean up, localism vs. globalism, composting with worms, and much more. George offers us new ways to connect the dots between our behaviors and the environmental impact they cause, as well as how the three E’s of sustainability: equity, environment, economy, can improve our approach to a greener future.
