1. My nation elected a president more interested in plundering the environment than protecting it.

2. Nearly everyone feels "I want to act but if no one else does then my actions won't matter so I'll keep doing what I'm doing."

3. When I've gotten over that feeling, my changes improved my life.

My podcast, Leadership and the Environment http://joshuaspodek.com/podcast, emerged to help provide the leadership for cultural change, to where people want to act on their environmental values.

Then guests like Dan Pink, John Lee Dumas, Dorie Clark, Frances Hesselbein, and other luminaries enjoyed their personal challenges, leading to more influential guests.

With a Superbowl champion and a Victoria's Secret model coming up, I'm more motivated than ever.

Plus people are volunteering to help, leading to in-person events.

are you eating meat? avoiding meat & diary products is the best way to help the environment. Sensitive issue because not many people will do the change.

75% of carbon emissions come from our energy supplies. Not taking any long flights is another amazingly potent way to reduce footprint. It's hard to pinpoint a best way to help but there are certainly a lot of good ways.
