| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Care More Be Better, a podcast for people like you who care about the social impact of conscious companies and everyday heroes. |
| 0:10.0 | Hear inspiring stories from those who put people in planet before profit and personal gain. |
| 0:15.3 | You'll learn how you can make a difference, vote with your dollars, and get involved today. |
| 0:20.1 | Here's your host, Karina Belizzi. |
| 0:27.3 | Hello, fellow do-bitters and friends. I'm your host, Karina Belizzi. And today, I just wanted to check in |
| 0:33.7 | and share with you the incredible, great news that this week we did something really amazing. |

| 1:47.0 | activist path. Your activism path doesn't have to look like marching in the streets. It can be as |
| 1:53.3 | simple as reaching out to your loved ones and sharing perspective on how they could be a part of |
| 1:59.4 | the world that you seek to create. It could be as simple |
| 2:02.5 | as sending emails to your Congress people to tell them that you support things like the |
| 2:07.6 | Inflation Reduction Act and all of the principles within it that would support a green economy, |
