Dr. Chip Fletcher, Associate Dean and Professor at the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology at the University of Hawaii shares through conversation what he's excited about in recent developments: Jeremy Rifkin's Third Industrial Revolution, the Terra Ton Initiative, solutions to deforestation, impacts of food choice, and inspiration from the bright spot Greta Thunberg. The second half of the show is a conversation with Stanford Scientist Arvin Gouw and CRISPR technology as well as his connection to the ocean and his motivation for taking climate action as the coral in Northern Bali struggles. Land sea connections, smart fun conversations, a deeper dive into human ecology and how everything is connected. Finally, a shout out to Holly Ogata, mystery positive sign maker in Hawaii Kai, a neighborhood in Honolulu, highlighting self-motivated action to create a more positive community in these times of volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity (VUCA).
