Today’s episode is an interview with Jerry Yudelson, Co-Founder of Earth Day, which you may have seen all over Instagram for its 50th anniversary on April 22 2020. And at face value it sounds like a straight-up chat about environmentalism but what’s really interesting is that Jerry’s latest book is about how he has combined meditation and mindfulness, two huge components of intentional living, with an environmentalist career, so we delve into that. I love what Jerry has to say about how the best political leaders in history are humanists, they tackle the world’s issues with empathy and love. Coming up on today’s show:The environmental impacts of Covid-19,the sustainability movement today compared with when Earth Day started 50 years ago, and how mindfulness and spirituality reconcile with environmentalism.
