Humanity is now the dubious owner of a long laundry list of environment issues that we have to solve. Obviously some are more pressing than others. Despite this, we tend to go about our daily business as if nothing is wrong. Why is that?

Do you ever stop to ask yourself why nothing ever really gets done.

On the other end of the spectrum, has there ever been a time when someone looked at you and commented about how lucky you were. Meanwhile you are thinking “What I accomplished was not a matter of luck but the result of years of hard work.”

So, what do these two scenarios have in common? If you want to know, then join me for E259, Habits for Sustainable Success: The Little Things Make the Difference.

Over the last several hundred years there have been an increasing number of people moving to urban areas. But have you ever ask yourself if it is healthier to live in the city or in a rural area. Or is it more environmentally friendly to live in the city versus the country side. Which lifestyle has the least environmental impact?

There is no doubt that urbanization has reshaped our land, our lifestyles and our resources systems. But, few people comprehend that this lifestyle is profoundly unsustainable. Despite that, more and more people are becoming suburbanites.

But it is possible to change all that with the right balance and of course intentional living. So join me for E258 How to Transform Our Urban Areas into a Sustainable Metropolis

I sometimes think that our world is a lot like my storage shed, in a perpetual state of disarray. And most of us go home at night, close our doors and forget about it. Now this sort of approach of course is not the answer to my storage shed or our global challenges. So join me for E257 How to Solve Our Global Challenges in One Generation.
