Summary

Your worm compost is cute, but we can't stop climate change unless we stop the fossil fuel industry. Author Kate Aronoff joins Francesca and Nato in The Bitchuation Room to talk about how both activists and a nosediving oil market are making the case for a different future. Perhaps one that involves a rethinking of our relationship to "land, life and labor" through a Green New Deal? Plus we decide who would go in our "Garden of American Heroes." Featuring: Kate Aronoff, Francesca Fiorentini, Nato Green Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
