Please note that this interview was recorded some time ago, so some of the information you’ll hear is out of date. That’s my fault, not theirs; it was accurate at the time of the recording. To update you as of August 2024, Recompose has composted 450 people, and 12 states, including California, have legalized the process.

Over a year ago, I had the idea to do a short series on how to have a legacy of sus...

This is, as they say, a Very Personal Episode™. In April of 2022, I lost my life partner of 17 years. It was every kind of horrible, as such things are, and I was lucky to have a solid bulwark of family and friends.

Additionally, I'll always be grateful to Earth™ for their amazing service during this time. Richard hadn't committed his preferences to paper, but I knew what they were. He wanted to leave the earth gently, no coffin, n...

It's Earth Month, and Earth Day is just two days away, on April 22. Climate change is already affecting us all, but some are definitely more affected than others.

Access to healthy food and clean air and water isn't universal around the globe. While some live in food privilege, others definitely don't, and the global climate crisis is increasing that gap exponentially.

It's always an honor and a pleasure to talk with experts who kn...

As I'm typing this, my dog is awaiting her afternoon walk.

As anyone who's had the pleasure of sharing space with an animal knows, the bond between people and critters can be very special, very powerful, and very healing.

In this episode, Audiotocracy CEO Shannon Perry talks with Elisabeth Van Every of Pet Partners on how animals can help us lead happier, healthier lives, even if we can't have a critter in our home.

What is an "eco-dietitian"? you ask. You'll love this — it's the intersection of nutrition, sustainability, food justice, and human and animal welfare.

And probably more things, but you'll have to hear the podcast to get the deets.

Mary Purdy MS, RDN, and integrative eco-dietitian does it all: she speaks, writes, teaches, podcasts, and counsels clients on how we can all eat more healthfully and more thoughtfully. And here's the goo...

As I record this, it’s Memorial Day here in the US, a day dedicated to remembering those who lost their lives in military service.  I think one way to honor fallen soldiers is by helping veterans who are dealing with post traumatic stress and military sexual trauma as a result of their time in service.

The Wearys have deliberately made Black Coffee an open environment where respectful discussions and debates are welcome, collaboration is fostered, young adults get...

I don't know about you, but sometimes hearing yet more bad news on climate change just makes me want to hide under the couch with a roll of cookie dough.

It's overwhelming, and I feel like no matter how "good" I am, (a) there's always more I could/should be doing, and (b) I'm too small to have an impact.

Fortunately, there are people in the world like Moji Igun, founder of Blue Daisi Consulting. Moji teaches businesses how to incor...

Seattle has a LOT of great food. And living in the Ballard neighborhood means I’m close to some of the very best restaurants in town.
 
We got to know Ballard-based Moshi Moshi because, to be completely honest, they were really nice to my dog, Zoey. Like, REALLY nice.
 
The food is also amazing, the service — well, it doesn’t get any better than the staff at Moshi Moshi. And there’s ...
