Our Eternal Optimist

from Once Upon a Planet

In this, our fifth episode, I finally get to catch up with long time friend, Doug Shapiro! Doug offers some valuable insight into simplifying our attitudes and expectations when it comes to planet health. How about this for simple? Just ask where the material is from. Are you looking at a chair? Just ask some simple questions. Where is the frame made? Where is the wood sourced? These sound like simple questions, but you'd be surprised at some of the answers! Join us as we talk about everything from chair frames to pet racoons!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
