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.

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

0:37.2

kamea.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

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

reclaimed wood serving boards that are really elegant and beautiful, jewelry made out of

1:34.6

recycled metals, this hand-woven colorful scarf made using heritage techniques by artisans

1:40.2

in Kulu, India, and more. As I mentioned before, May Trade offsets emissions from all of their shipping, and they also

support localized regenerative textile systems with every purchase.
