In this episode of the Good Dirt Podcast, hosts Emma and Mary return from winter break with a special interview featuring repeat guest Paul Hawken, the acclaimed environmentalist, author, and activist. They discuss Hawken's new book, 'Carbon, the Book of Life,' which explores the multifaceted role of carbon in our universe, challenging the prevailing view of carbon as merely a climatic culprit. Hawken shares his profound insights on the interconnectedness of all life and how shifting our perception of carbon can foster a deeper understanding of our relationship with where we live. Key themes include the limitations of current climate messaging, the emotional and intellectual journey of understanding carbon, and the need for a holistic approach to resolving environmental crises.📖 Preorder Carbon:The Book of Life → Click here (Available in the U.S. on March 18, 2025)Books/ArticlesBill McKibben/ Global Warming's Terrifying New MathLawrence Anthony/ The Elephant WhispererFrans De Waal/ Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are?
