I have a quick but important ask. As you're probably aware, Green Dreamer is an independent

podcast and we don't take on corporate advertisers to fund our work because we don't want those

considerations to influence our curiosities or our abilities to question whatever it is that we want to question.

So if you value and believe in our work, this is our call out.

We need your direct support in order to continue this podcast.

And you can help us out so, so much through a paid substack subscription to my newsletter at

camaya.substack.com or through a one-time

donation at greendreamer.com slash support. It really means a lot to have you here and we're so

grateful for whatever form or level of support that you're able to share with us.

Green Dreamer is an independent podcast supported directly by listeners like you.

And this allows us to critically and honestly cover anything and everything and also

explore narratives often sidelined by mainstream outlets.

So if you're learning from or inspired by the show,

we need you. And we're counting on your support starting at just a tip of $2 a month at patreon.com

slash green dreamer. We don't want to put up a paywall though. So if you can't afford to give

anything right now, please don't worry at all. Just take good care of yourself and your loved ones and enjoy the show.

And if you've already contributed, share the show or written us a five-star review. All this helps so much.
