Fix the World
The world is falling apart. You can ignore it, and let the kids deal with the damage, or you can change the way you live and mitigate that damage. This show’s about changing: Take less, give more, and leave more alone. It’s simple. If you do it well, you’ll fix the world. If you don’t, you can do everything else and accomplish nothing. That’s my summary statement after 80 years of struggling to make meaning of life. I'm not paid to do this podcast, and I'm not selling anything. I just want a better life for my kids, and your kids, and their kids. If that's what you want, I can help you make it happen. Think critically about what you want. There's probably a big difference between what you think you want and what you really want. Fix the world by knowing this difference, and working for what you really want.

Fix the World
Episode 11, Protect the Environment
Forests are shrinking, deserts are expanding, glaciers are melting, etc. Our kids will pay the price if there are any kids. We're in the fight of our lives for the lives of our kids, and we're losing. That ought to bother you. We're losing because climate change doesn't matter. Ending hunger and, then, poverty are higher priorities. We few rich people care about climate because we're not hunger of poor. If we want a shot at saving climate, we're got to give others the same incentive to care about it. Stop eating meat and fish and dairy. That will help end hunger, poverty, and climate change.
