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.

| 0:00.0 | I have a quick but important ask. As you're probably aware, Green Dreamer is an independent |
| 0:07.9 | podcast and we don't take on corporate advertisers to fund our work because we don't want those |
| 0:13.7 | considerations to influence our curiosities or our abilities to question whatever it is that we want to question. |
| 0:22.3 | So if you value and believe in our work, this is our call out. |
| 0:26.8 | We need your direct support in order to continue this podcast. |
| 0:30.7 | And you can help us out so, so much through a paid substack subscription to my newsletter at |
| 0:37.3 | camaya.substack.com or through a one-time |
| 0:40.4 | donation at greendreamer.com slash support. It really means a lot to have you here and we're so |
| 0:47.6 | grateful for whatever form or level of support that you're able to share with us. |

| 0:57.7 | that we'll be taking a brief summer hiatus |
| 1:00.4 | after reaching episode 260. |
| 1:03.2 | To be honest, I'm personally a little burnt out, |
| 1:05.8 | so as much as I need to evaluate the show's practical next steps, |
| 1:10.2 | I also need a mini break for my own mental |
| 1:12.7 | health. So we'll be taking a pause from releasing new conversations until the fall. But I will be |
| 1:19.1 | replaying some past episodes throughout this break that I feel like are really relevant to this time |
| 1:24.8 | or that are just really worth diving into because there's so many past |
| 1:29.3 | conversations that I learn more from each and every time I listen again and again. |
| 1:35.0 | Also, we do already have hundreds of conversations in the archive. So if you're not entirely |
| 1:39.8 | caught up or haven't had a chance to go back to listen to some of our earlier episodes, |
| 1:44.8 | I hope you'll take this brief pause as an opportunity to do that as well. |
