In this episode, I reflect on how personal action and government action can pick up each other's slack in dealing with our biggest problems -- using the examples of coronavirus and climate change. And two Greek women's delicious vegan food is giving me hope.

A big shout-out to Osita Nwanevu's excellent February essay "End the GOP" in "The New Republic" (https://newrepublic.c…
Today's episode is something special: I talk about the new project I'm working on, a series of workshops called Stories from the Future. In these workshops, organized as part of the "Collective Practices" program at ACUD MACHT NEU, participants will come together to imagine a climate-neutral 2030 a…
This week I present an interview I did with Maria Koimtzoglou, owner of the Berlin restaurant Maria (mariamariamaria.com), about the connections between food and sustainability and what it's like owning a restaurant in our corona reality.
