How can we live sustainably in an unsustainable world? Second Nature is a podcast by Commons exploring how our sustainable choices impact our lives and the planet. Every week hear how listeners are taking public transit, composting food waste, eating more plant-based meals and practicing deconsumption to create the kind of world they want to live in. We'll calculate the carbon impact of collective action and get expert answers to your burning climate questions. Everyone’s sustainable life is unique.

    Your Local Library is Fighting Climate Change

    -> 🚨 Tell your U.S. reps not to cut federal funding for public libraries.-> Short Survey: Tell us what you think of Second Nature Libraries are icons of the sharing economy. When we borrow books, media, and tools from the library, we save ourselves from needing to buy new stuff. But did you know that libraries are also community hubs for climate resilience? From heatwaves to hurricanes, thousands of people have used libraries as free spaces to escape the elements and find respite.  In this community episode, we're everything that our listeners get from their local libraries.  🌎 See photos of our contributors and find further reading in the full show notes and citations.  📱 To join the Commons community, download the app. 📷 Follow Second Nature on Instagram.

  3. Microplastics: How Do They Get Into Our Bodies? And What We Can Do About It?

    Microplastics: How Do They Get Into Our Bodies? And What We Can Do About It?

    Microplastics seem to be everywhere, inside and outside our bodies. These micro and nano particles are shedding from our clothes, our tires, food packaging — basically anywhere there's plastic. People, animals, and plants are consuming these microplastics, thereby complicating the issue and contributing to health problems. But what health issues? And how do we avoid them?  The science is still a work in progress, but today, we're finding out what we know so far. We’re going to find out from an actual scientist what we know and don’t know about the health implications of microplastics and what we can do about it. And we’re going to try our best to find our way to a place of understanding without complete overwhelm.  🌎 See photos of our contributors and find further reading in the full show notes and citations.

    How We’re Coping With Climate Anxiety

    NOTE: An early version of this audio has an error around 4:50. If you hear that error, it's likely because your podcast player downloaded the first version. Please re-download the episode to hear the correct version! And forgive us, as we're merely human beans 🫘 . Is climate news stressing you out? Same. We're experiencing funding cuts to environmental agencies, while climate disasters like heatwaves and storms persist, and wildlife and environmental protections are at risk. It's a tough time to be an environmentalist, and all this stress and sadness can lead to climate anxiety (aka eco-anxiety). If you've felt anxious about the state of our climate, you're not alone. We thought it was a perfect time to bring back this episode from last season, where we hear from you our listeners, to hear various ways to cope with climate anxiety through nature, community, and gratitude. If you're looking for more resources to help with climate anxiety, we highly recommend this list from the team at All We Can Save. 🌎 For photos of our contributors and further reading, check the full show notes. 📞 We'd love to hear from you!

    We Need to Talk About AI

    🔗 TAKE ACTION: Stop State AI Regulation Ban in the "One Big Beautiful Bill" Act When you ask ChatGPT to write a cover letter, make your grocery list, or edit an image, what's actually happening in the real world? As AI gets bigger by the day, it's requiring more and more energy, water, and land in communities around the world.  Tech companies are investing billions of dollars in data centers and technologies to power AI, but are they also investing in sustainable and equitable resources to keep it going? Today, we’re going to take a step back from the chatbots to understand the true impact of AI, how we’re tracking and regulating that impact, and we’ll find out what it will take to build a sustainable future for AI with Shalolei Ren — associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of California Riverside whose work focuses on AI for good.  🌎 See photos of our contributors and find further reading in the full show notes. 📱 To join the Commons community, download the app. 📷 Follow Second Nature on Instagram.

  6. Connection and Resilience Through Local Food

    Connection and Resilience Through Local Food

    Farmers market season is upon us! As we've started seeing spring crops here at markets in the Northern Hemisphere, we're thinking about the power of locally grown food. As our food supply chains have gone global — we’ve gained more access to nutritious foods in areas where they may be hard to grow — but we’ve lost touch with seasonality and the source of our food. And we’ve lost touch with plenty of foods altogether. Locally grown food not only gives us more nutrients, but done right, it can bring biodiversity to local land, build climate resilience, and even offer diversity and economic resilience in our communities. Today we're reconnecting to local food through our global community, learning more about how our food system favors big agriculture, and   with connecting the dots between food justice and equity Tagan Engel — a chef, food justice organizer and host of the podcast/radio show Table Underground.  🌎 See photos of our contributors and find further reading in the full show notes: www.thecommons.earth/episode/6-connection-and-resilience-through-local-food 📱 To join the Commons community, download the app: https://www.thecommons.earth/second-nature 📷 Follow Second Nature on Instagram @secondnatureearth Episode Credits Listener contributions: Elizabeth, Stella, Joao Vilca Soto, Lin Diaz Maceo, Airlea Rasul, JessikaEpisode expert: Tagan EngelEditing and engineering: Evan Goodchild‍Hosting and production: Katelan Cunningham

    Conscious Chatter: A Scientific Lens on the Links Between Fast Fashion, Toxicity, & Microplastics

    Microplastics are seemingly everywhere, even our clothes. From production through wash days, synthetic fabrics are shedding microplastics into the air and water. It's a big issue that's going to take shifts from manufacturing to our own homes, and we wanted to start tackling this big discussion with the help of our friends at the podcast, Conscious Chatter.  Earlier this year, host Kestrel Jenkins spoke with Dana Zhaxylykova. Dana is an environmental scientist and microplastics researcher, who's  originally from Kazakhstan and currently based in Germany. She uses Instagram to share practical and actionable tips about microplastics through a scientific lens. 👖 Hear more from Kestrel and Conscious Chatter here.📷 Follow Conscious Chatter on Instagram. 📱 To join the Commons community, download the app. 📷 Follow Second Nature on Instagram.

  8. Is the Patriarchy Fueling Climate Change?

    Is the Patriarchy Fueling Climate Change?

    The climate crisis has a way of making hard things even harder — and that includes gender disparities. From their professional lives to their personal lives, climate change has left many women vastly under-resourced and at risk, all while taking on the heavy toll of caring for their families and communities through climate mitigation and resilience. In this episode, we hear how the climate gender gap is affecting our community, talk to WOCAN founder Jeannette Gurung about how women continue to work through vast climate inequities around the world, and we hear from Commons' founder and CEO Sanchali Seth Pal about how health disparities women face as a result of climate disaster.  🌎 See photos of our contributors and find further reading in the full show notes. 📱 To join the Commons community, download the app. 📷 Follow Second Nature on Instagram.
