How can we make better decisions for ourselves and for the planet? Author, Podcast host, and co-host of  Down to Earth with Zac Efron, Darin Olien shares how our small contributions can truly make a difference! Darin shares how to vote with every dollar you spend, how to protect yourself from EMF's, and how to make a difference for yourself and the planet with everyday decisions - they may seem small, but they really do add up!
