Season 3, Episode 23: Twila

from Climate Action Figures · host John Whidden

John hosts a unique episode of Climate Action Figures featuring his daughter, Twila. The QuickFix highlights “Adopt Don’t Shop,” encouraging pet adoption and volunteering at local shelters. Twila shares her climate actions, including conserving and reusing water (collecting shower warm-up water and catching sink water for plants), thrift shopping, growing herbs, using reusable bags and cups, combining errands into one trip, and installing solar panels. They reflect on John’s long-running environmental habits while Twila was growing up—cool house temperatures, composting, walking to school for rewards, bringing reusable containers to restaurants, and hang-drying laundry for calculated energy savings—along with humorous stories about cooling leftovers outside and wildlife getting into food. Twila says hope comes from friends’ small changes and youth becoming more environmentally aware.00:00 Meet Twila00:43 QuickFix Adopt Don’t Shop02:12 Why Twila Is Here02:52 Twilas Climate Actions04:47 Growing Up Eco05:21 Cold House Stories06:08 Early Eco Habits09:03 Walking To School Bribes11:03 Hang Dry Math12:34 Twila Grills Dad14:42 Cooling Food Outside16:53 Wrap Up [email protected]://www.facebook.com/climateactionfigureshttps://www.instagram.com/climateactionfigures/https://www.youtube.com/@ClimateActionFigures
