Hear me on WNYC: “Meet the NYC environmentalists going off the grid and eating discarded food”
Listen to this story about me on WNYC:
The text introducing it says:
As President Donald Trump pursues a deregulation agenda, New York’s ambitious clean energy goals appear further out of reach. So what’s a climate conscious New Yorker to do? WNYC’s Rosemary Misdary reports on some New York City residents taking an extreme approach to eliminating their carbon footprints.
I won’t split hairs, but I would describe what I do as traditional and conservative, not extreme, since nobody connected to an electric grid or used plastic more than about a century ago. If you’ve read Sustainability Simplified, you know I consider many polluting and depleting activities as addictive, and from the perspective of, say, a heroin addict, using zero looks extreme, but it doesn’t feel that way to me.
If you haven’t read Sustainability Simplified, I recommend it.
