Seth Godin on Why We Need Systems Change to Save the Planet EP 187
About this episode
Seth Godin joins the Passion Struck podcast to discuss The Carbon Almanac and why tackling climate change requires changing the system. One of the things that we need to understand about the climate crisis is that we cannot simply reduce our way out of this problem. We have a systems problem. And the system problem is very simple: carbon extracted from the ground in the form of concrete, combustion, and cows is underpriced. We have been stealing from our future by burning stuff way too cheap. -► Purchase the Carbon Almanac: https://amzn.to/3RFHTxE (Amazon Link) -► Get the full show notes: https://passionstruck.com/seth-godin-we-need-systems-change-save-planet/ --► Prefer to watch this interview: https://youtu.be/bSBxOB7Ii78 --► Subscribe to Our YouTube Channel Here: https://www.youtube.com/c/JohnRMiles --► Subscribe to the Passion Struck Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/passion-struck-with-john-r-miles/id1553279283 Thank you, Dry Farm Wines, For Your Support Dry Farm Wines Have No Chemical Additives for Aroma, Color, Flavor, or Texture Enhancement.
