Most of us are well aware of the fact that the mass-fashion industry contributes to devastating climate change consequences.

Jenica tells us how to reduce the amount of waste we produce, turning it into a fun and positive experience. We discuss a One Jar Challenge, which is a perfect way to identify some zero-waste starting points for you and your family.

Solutions Pod episode 007 welcomes Dr. Jason Snyder, a professor at Appalachian State's Department of Sustainable Development to talk about bioregional regeneration, metamodern localism, homesteading, the end of civilization as we know it, and why he's optimistic.

In this episode, we ask Jason why he's optimistic even as civilization continues to break down and explore how movements like permaculture can act as bridges between politically divided people. Jason also explains what bioregional regeneration and metamodern localism are and how these can be valuable tools for transitioning into a better type of civilization.

Dr. Erlijn van Genuchten tells us how to implement healthy habits, reminding us about the importance of not being too harsh on ourselves and not expecting perfection. When we plan to run a marathon, we don’t go for a marathon on day one, right? We train gradually and grow slowly. This is a great analogy for sustainable living too!
