Without Joy, What's The Purpose?
About this episode
Today Doug opens the container with Teresa Baker.
Doug begins the show by weighing in on the timely and urgent need to protect our public lands, which are currently facing a historical and unprecedented threat. He talks about the implications of a legislative push that could result in the sale of millions of acres of these cherished spaces, highlighting a provision introduced by Senator Mike Lee that jeopardizes the beautiful and wild places that belongs to all Americans.
Doug is then joined by Teresa Baker, a passionate advocate for inclusivity within the outdoor community who reinforces the notion that these spaces should be accessible to everyone.
Throughout their discussion, Teresa and Doug emphasize the value of these lands and engage in a conversation about the intersection of joy, resistance, and the responsibility to safeguard these environments that define who we are.
