    From Fear to Action, From Poison to Cure

    "Anxiety keeps us blind. Fear prevents us from the awareness of all the good around us. All the potential and possibilities. All of the solutions." Nature has a lot to teach us. In countless traditions, Nature is seen as "the great teacher". But what can Nature teach us now, today, in a world full of so many challenges? And how can we apply what we learn to actually make a difference? Today we explore how to get past fear and stop focusing on all the negative things going on around us. How to move past the poisons in the world - the conflict and the destruction and the scary stuff - and instead focus on the solutions to our problems. The antidotes to the poison we see in the world. Join us as we look for new inspiration from Nature. Inspiration that can help carry us forward past the difficulties of our world and on to the next phase, if we can just keep our eyes open to the possibilities all around us.

    Take Action to Stop Illegal Fishing and Save Our Planet - Sea Shepherd pt 2

    When the going gets tough the activists get tougher. Our oceans are in distress as we continue to overfish marine ecosystems around the world. 90% of whales, 85-99% of shark species, trillions of fish, and countless other ocean animals have been lost due to overfishing, much of which operates outside of the law. Illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing is a major enabler of the exploitation of our oceans but the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society is standing in the way. Literally. By using direct action techniques and what founder, Captain Paul Watson, calls “aggressive nonviolence”, Sea Shepherd crews document and disrupt illegal fishing and whaling on the open water. Featured on the popular TV series, “Whale Wars”, and in documentaries like Seaspiracy on Netflix, Sea Shepherd ships send illegal fishing boats running as they attempt to cover up their destruction of wildlife ecosystems and human rights violations. Tune in to learn more about the crucial work Sea Shepherd is doing to protect our oceans, which also means protecting our planet, and how you can get involved today. SUPPORT Sea Shepherd: Learn more , volunteer, donate, and get involved at https://seashepherd.org/. CHALLENGE: The Earth Warrior challenge. Make a choice to alter your habits or behaviors in a way that benefits the Earth. If you eat seafood, or animal products of any kind, you can choose to remove them from your diet completely, or partially if you need a transition period. Replace disposables with reusables for good. If you have the choice between car, train, bus, or plane, choose train or bus – or bike. Or build volunteering with an Earth-focused organization into your routine. Choose something that you know will have a powerful impact on the health of our Earth and take action on it that you can sustain. Tell other people about the choice you’ve made and why you’ve made it. The more of us who become Earth warriors the more hope we'll see by making our hope active and alive.  TAKEAWAYS: 1: We are more powerful than we realize.  2: When we take a stand we can transform the world. 3: Hope without action is lifeless. We must take our hope and make it active.  Visit www.wecanremaketheworld.com for more info and resources.

  5. Why No Matter What We Still Have Hope

    Why No Matter What We Still Have Hope

    It's not easy to stay focused on the positive. But it's essential. In a world with growing challenges it can be easy to lose sight of the millions of people who are making the world a better place, especially when the media often focuses on drama and fear. There are two truths being told out there in the world - that humanity is doomed and that humanity can change. If we look around at current events and global systems and don't accept that all we have is the status quo - that a better world is possible - then there is reason for hope. It comes down to three important questions: what do we believe about ourselves, what do we believe about each other, and what do we believe is possible? If we believe we are capable of making change, that most people want to be part of building something better, and that anything is possible when we work together, then nothing can stop us from rethinking and remaking the world. Join us for an honest look at the reasons we all struggle to stay hopeful, and what we can do to find our resilience and keep driving toward a better path.

    Nature is a Human Right: New York Restoration Project

    The pandemic has shown us how crucial Nature can be. When there was nowhere else to go we still had our parks, our shores, our gardens. But millions of people in cities around the world had little to no access to green spaces, and still don't. The New York Restoration Project (NYRP) is changing that. NYRP is working in all five boroughs of New York City to ensure that every New Yorker has equal access to Nature. By transforming abandoned lots into gardens, clearing trash, restoring parks, creating community gardens and community outreach programs, and advocating for greater access to green space, NYRP is growing our relationship with the Earth and the natural world one New Yorker at a time. Why does this matter? We won't protect what we aren't connected to. With each garden, each green space, each restored park, NYRP is reminding us of the bond and the responsibility we have to the natural world. Tune in for our conversation with Executive Director, Lynn Kelly, to learn more, get inspired, and take action on behalf of urban green spaces today. SUPPORT NYRP's work: Learn more, donate, and get involved at https://www.nyrp.org/en/.  CHALLENGE: The Green challenge. Offer something to your favorite green space in the form of a donation, volunteering time, appreciation of it, or care for it. Pick up trash every time you’re there or remove weeds. If you don’t have a favorite green space in your local area then go find one. Or support a natural space that you love or that you’ve always wanted to visit – a national or state park.Giving back to a place you appreciate it forms a new relationship with it- you’re now part of its story. Nature gives us so much, let's give something back. TAKEAWAYS: 1: We won’t protect what we don’t value. What we can’t see. What we don’t experience.  2: The best way to make change is to get our hands in the dirt and get involved. 3: It’s time to prioritize what truly matters.  Visit www.wecanremaketheworld.com for more info and resources.

    Healing A Planet in Crisis: Tony Rinaudo

    Have you ever wanted to give up? Do you have moments of such strong doubt that you begin to wonder if things will ever actually get better? Tony Rinaudo, our guest today, has been there too. And gotten to the other side. After years of failed attempts to help transform the barren landscapes of west Africa into fertile ground, Tony had an aha moment that not only changed his life but the lives of millions of farmers, animals, and plants throughout Africa. The method that Tony has developed, FMNR (Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration), is re-greening Africa, shrinking the Sahara Desert, bringing food security and financial freedom to millions of farmers and their families, and healing the Earth in the process. Tony teaches us that seeking to live a life of purpose combined with not giving up can lead to miraculous change. SUPPORT Tony's work and take action today: Learn more , donate, and get involved at https://fmnrhub.com.au/.  And check out Tony's book, The Forest Underground, coming to all major digital platforms this week! CHALLENGE: Grow something. Build a relationship with living things in the way that Tony did. Raising plants requires patience and faith. With persistence we can often raise something beautiful that we have nurtured. Connect with Nature and the miracle how these tiny seeds can grow into fruits, vegetables, herbs, flowers if they have the right conditions and care. Our ideas for a better world can take root with patience and persistence in the same way.  TAKEAWAYS: 1: Moments of doubt and difficulty are always part of the story, but there is also always hope. 2: Sometimes the solutions we’re seeking are right in front of us if we can just open our eyes. 3: One person can change the world.

    Save Ourselves by Saving Wildlife: Save the Manatee Club

    Nature is sending us a warning. Are we listening? Last year on Florida's east coast over 1,100 manatees died from starvation, which is more manatees than we had alive in Florida just 40 years ago. What is causing the loss of food sources for manatees and other aquatic life? What does it mean for us? Can we do anything about it? Join us for our conversation with Patrick Rose, Executive Director of the hugely influential Save the Manatee Club. Patrick tells us about the warning signs scientists have seen coming for decades, why we've reached a tipping point, and how manatees are offering us an opportunity to save ourselves - our wildlife, our water, our health - by saving them first. SUPPORT Patrick and Save the Manatee Club: Learn more , donate, and get involved at https://www.savethemanatee.org/.  CHALLENGE: The Lorax challenge. Adopt a cause. Pick something personal for you. Become an expert about your cause and then get loud about it. How can you bring more awareness and action to what you've chosen to support? Be the Lorax for your chosen cause. TAKEAWAYS: 1: We are the problem but we are also the solution. 2: It's not too late but we're getting close. If we can find a way to turn things around it will change everything. 3: It's time to get serious and take action. Now. Visit www.wecanremaketheworld.com for more info and resources.
