I think one of our throughlines with Sustainable Earth that we focus on a lot is trying to

maintain that balance between being informative and causing some eco-anxiety, especially as

we're a media platform where we're pushing out all this content, you know, across our social

channels and our website.

And we're very conscious of how we can provide information to our viewers

and keep them coming back because they feel good about it.

And they feel urged and they feel empowered to continue

because I think there's so much out there that you can be doing, you know,

in sustainability and educating yourself. And it can get quickly overwhelming. So we try to make sure that our content, we don't want to necessarily sugarcoat anything, but how can we make it

engaging, positive and, you know, exciting and fun to stay involved and engaged with.

This is a sustainable mind where we delve into the minds behind today's most impactful environmental

campaigns, organizations, and startups, inspiring the environmental change makers of tomorrow.

I'm your host, Marjorie Alexander. Today on episode 95, we're joined by Caitlin Armbuster,

a program manager for the Rob and Melanie Walton

Sustainability Solutions Service within the Global Futures Lab at Arizona State University.

In this role, Caitlin leads sustainability education, outreach, and engagement for a number of

initiatives and projects, including the Sustainability Solutions Festival,

Sustainability Solutions Science Fair, Sustainable Earth, and the Sustainable Earth Small Business Awards.

Caitlin, welcome to the show.

Thank you for having me. Nice to be here with you, Marjorie.

So we're going to dive right in with our signature question.

Can you tell us a little bit about how nature, the environment, and sustainability played a role in your childhood growing up?
