Summary

In this special replay, we unite two dynamic explorations from Paul Hawken’s Regeneration: Ending the Climate Crisis in One Generation, focusing on how cities and food systems can be transformed for the better. From living buildings to urban farms, from rethinking meat to minimizing food waste—this episode offers a hopeful, actionable roadmap to regeneration.


What You’ll Learn:

  • How cities can shift from being carbon culprits to climate solutions
  • The role of green architecture and the Living Building Challenge
  • What the 15-minute city really means (and why Paris is leading the charge)
  • How food systems became the #1 cause of climate change—and how we can reverse that
  • Real solutions for food waste, access, and biodiversity in our diets
  • Why “eating everything” (not just 3 crops!) matters for our health and the planet
  • Practical ways to support regenerative change in your daily life


Mentioned In This Episode:

  • Regeneration by Paul Hawken
  • BlocPower and founder Donnel Baird
  • Rooftop Roots, Lufa Farms, and other inspiring urban farming examples
  • Jonathan Safran Foer’s We Are The Weather
  • Episode 20: Interview with Howard Schiffer of Vitamin Angels
  • Talking Home Renovations with Katharine MacPhail
  • CareMoreBeBetter.com | Newsletter & Activist Guide
