It’s Sustainability Time explores sustainability as the engine for long-term human progress and the guiding influence for personal growth. Sustainability is both practical and profound — part everyday effort, part vision for what humanity can become. Together, we explore how developing a complete understanding of the true value of environmental, human, and societal resources, among others, creates an awareness that will lead us to a more stable and meaningful world.  Uncovering the many dimensions of value, is the start of the path towards a truly sustainable world.  A deeper, more philosophical understanding is beginning to emerge. It’s Sustainability Time will include conversations with special guests, sharing real stories of resilience, purpose, and transformation. Your host, Todd Francis Banks, is a certified peer mental health support counselor with a background in finance, visual arts, and environmental sciences. #Peace #BetterPolitics  #MeaningfulLife #Loving #Philosophy #HappyLife #Sustainability #LovingGod #Transcendence #Wellness #Nutrition #FutureGenerations #Resilience #Conservation #EnvironmentalSciences

    The Sustainable Mind

    Sustainability has a transcendent quality. Can we make it part of our everyday reality? In this episode, Todd Francis explores the idea that sustainable thinking is less like a band-aid for problems and more like a vitamin — something that strengthens individuals, communities, and future generations over time. The possibilities for wiser decisions, personal growth, and long-term progress are boundless. Join the conversation and discover the deeper value of sustainable thinking.

    Our Incarceration Pandemic: Part 1

    Americans make up 25% of the global prison population.  We live in a virtual pandemic of U.S. citizens who live their lives in 6ft. x 8ft. cells.  Is this a crime against humanity or a strong commitment to keep law abiding citizens safe?   On this episode we will talk about the real-time components, ambivalence and de facto-ambivalence, that make crime management in America an abysmal failure.  Then we will talk to a former gang member about his experiences, which have consumed more than half of his adult life. #incarceration #prison #criminaljustice #rejuvenation #legalsystem #crime #communitysupport #addiction #recovery #illegaldrugs #gangviolence #massincarceration #parole #selfcare

    Do I exist?

    It would take  1.3 million Planet Earths to equal the Sun's mass and 7.5 trillion people to equal the Earth’s mass.  So, where do I fit in?  I myself am made up of 7 octillion atoms, which is 7 followed by 27 zeros. Each human has a 1 in 400 trillion chance of coming into existence and the size of the Milky Way Galaxy is billions of times smaller than is a spec of dust when compared to the scale of the universe.   Do we live in an endless mindless expanse or not?!   Is there an invisible being around us or not?!  Shouldn't we have figured out this definitively by now?  Oh well, we haven't.  Maybe we are like Chinese pygmy dormouse - blind.  Who knows.  Does it matter?  Probably.  Should we care?  Probably.   The oceans might know more clearly whether there is a God than we do.  So what.  Praise Jesus. Challenge reality! #CosmicPerspective #Philosophy #TowerOfBabel #Creation #Evolution

    Mystical Nature of Christianity

    A man implies that God is his Father.  The same man changes jugs of water into wine at a marriage festival.  He was conceived without a human father and returns after his death to lead humanity back to its righteous nature.   Three distinct beings make up the Christian God.  The mysteries of the Christian faith are deep and entrenching.  In today's episode, we'll take a look at what Christians believe, or are supposed to.
