Episode 3: Fill the Pool, not the Package
This week on Everybody in the Pool … we’re shopping! Consumer goods and the food we eat account for about a third of global carbon emissions, and everything we buy has what I like to call a True Cost. There’s what the thing actually costs, but there’s also the cost that went into producing it, shipping it, packaging it, and disposing of it. This week’s show has a little explainer about how all that works, plus an interview with a startup, Finch, trying to make shopping for sustainable alternatives just a little bit easier.

Episode 2: No Pool For You
Don’t kid yourself: we’re in the climate economy now. Extreme weather, drought, fire, floods—all of it means adapting to a changing climate, and that adaptation process will touch just about every business. This week, we’re looking at two businesses in particular: real estate, and interior design. I asked a real estate agent and a kitchen and bath designer what shoppers are asking for, how climate change is impacting the work they do, and how being climate-aware is a differentiator in their businesses. Also, cool product alert: recycled denim insulation!? Who knew!?

Very informative and enjoyable
I have long been a huge fan of Molly Wood and this podcast reminds me why. Important and crucial topic and fabulous reporting. Nice work, Molly.
Great show from a great person
Always glad to listen to Molly’s take on these topics, and the excellent guests she finds.
Such great work!!
Molly helps us understand the complexities of climate change and she wants to use capitalism to help us change the destructive path we are on. Thank you Pete Dominick for introducing me to this awesome podcast.
