Epic Times, Epic Measures

ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗

We live in "epic times," according to anthropologist Dominic Boyer. When we look around, we're surrounded by epic challenges, but it's also clear that we have an epic opportunity to transform the way we live so that the planet can stay healthy and vibrant.
Epic times call for epic measures, bold leadership and lots of collaboration. Based in Nova Scotia, Canada, the hosts of this podcast share their stories about what works in environmental protection and climate action, and especially when it comes to acting locally.
Music by Alexander Gallant.
