150: Tom Murphy, part 1: Do the Math, the language of nature (transcript)

on March 8, 2019 in Podcast

Everybody thinks about the environment. Nearly everyone also gets bogged down in questions. Will this or that change make a difference? What does all the science mean?

I recommend bingeing on all of it. Leadership and Teamwork The This Sustainable Life podcast When people hear my podcast name, they focus on the environment part.
