Judith D. Schwartz is a journalist who focuses on nature-based solutions to global environmental, economic, and social challenges. She is the author of Cows Save the Planet, Water in Plain Sight: Hope for a Thirsty World, and the new book The Reindeer Chronicles.
In this podcast episode, Judy (featured originally in episode 130) sheds light on why we need to look beyond how much water we use to the water cycle itself when talking about water scarcity and conservation; why we need to understand and address climate change through the lens of water—and not just carbon dioxide; and more.

| 0:45.0 | you to join our Patreon or Substack membership or contribute a gift of any amount at |

| 1:19.1 | To be honest, I'm personally a little burnt out, so as much as I need to evaluate the |
| 1:24.1 | show's practical next steps, I also need a mini break for my own mental health. |
| 1:29.3 | So we'll be taking a pause from releasing new conversations until the fall. |
| 1:34.2 | But I will be replaying some past episodes throughout this break that I feel like are really |
| 1:39.2 | relevant to this time or that are just really worth diving into because there's so many past conversations |
| 1:45.7 | that I learn more from each and every time I listen again and again. |
| 1:50.9 | Also, we do already have hundreds of conversations in the archive. |
