    Ep. 24: Smoky Summers

    Smokey summers were not common growing up, but it seems like they happen every year now! Taylor and Logan hail from Minnesota where this trend has grown each summer, stacking air quality alerts one after another. Why does this phenomenon repeat and how did it start? How are people responding to the hazy skies and tangible indication of a changing local to international climate?

    Ep. 23: Human Health vs. Environmental Health

    As much as hospitals save lives and maintain patient care, they have a long history of being wasteful. From Bluewrap to plastic packaging to gloves and bedding, the healthcare system was not necessarily built on a foundation of sustainability, but a focus on human health. What would it look like if we thought of environmental health and human health as deeply intertwined? Logan and Taylor explore some options hospitals may have to mitigate waste and continue serving patients without losing out on benjamins!  Hosted by Taylor Karasch and Logan Wikstrom Produced by Nolan Sawyer Watts Instagram: instagram.com/sustainablehorizonspod/ Facebook: facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093657017500 TikTok: tiktok.com/@sustainablehorizonspod Spotify: podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sustainable-horizons Apple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sustainable-horizons/id1691509675 Nolan instagram.com/nolansawyerwatts/ nolanwattsmusic@gmail.com  — — —  Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sustainable-horizons/support

    Ep. 19: Hedonistic Sustainability

    Have you ever heard of "hedonistic sustainability"? Maybe many of us can relate to this idea that Logan and Taylor explore, relating to everyday life and on a larger scale. Is it up to us individuals to go forth bearing the burden of a sustainable future or do we share the responsibility with corporations and the conglomerates of the world? In this episode, we learn how we fit into this environmental jigsaw puzzle.
