One of the most common questions in looking for climate change solutions: is this practical? Solutions that may work on a smaller scale often fall apart when they are applied more broadly, and a broad solution is absolutely what is needed to tackle climate change.
The podcast How To Save a Planet approaches this question in their episode Soil: The Dirty Climate Solution. They interview two farmers, one with a small farm of local produce, and another with thousands of acres of crops that are sold to industrial processors. The episode breaks down how both farms have cut their emissions, costs, and waste, through similar methods of soil care and regenerative farming. It explores what works and what doesn’t, and most importantly, it shows a world where industrial farms are able to still feed the nation, while polluting it less.
If conversations of climate change and how best to combat it have started to weigh you down, the podcast How to Save a Planet might be for you. Hosted by journalist Alex Blumberg and scientist and policy expert Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson, How to Save a Planet tackles the realistic solutions to environmental problems. By focusing on possible solutions to local and worldwide effects of climate change, Alex Blumberg and Dr. Ayana Johnson discuss and educate on how we can still build the future we want.
