There's no doubt: environmental issues are scary. Eat Your Greens breaks these issues down into bite-sized, digestible pieces that nourish new ways of thinking and keep the planet healthy. I'm Maia Lopin, and Eat Your Greens is where I explore the ideas, decisions, and turning points that shape how we build a more sustainable future. I sit down with founders, scientists, policy thinkers, and cultural leaders whose work challenges the status quo. Together, we explore how sustainability isn't simply an obligation, but an opportunity to redefine how we live, lead, and build.
