In this episode, Madison and Abbey confront the beast of politics and political action. While environmental issues are first and foremost spiritual and moral issues, at some point we have to involve the political machine if we are going to do anything about it. Government is one of the most powerful tools for action and change in the world. However, in the recent decade, Climate Change has become intensely politicized which has made it incredibly hard to enact change. What lies behind this politicization? What is the balance between personal and communal responsibility? And how can we engage in genuine ways with an obviously broken system?
No matter your political affiliation, we deeply encourage you to listen to this episode.
