In this episode, Shelby and Anton talk about what living in climate danger zones will mean for homeowners insurance, how to combat perfection when homesteading, and how art can save the sea with Washed Ashore.
Intro: CORRECTION Shelby recalls a story she told in episode 14 about ""reef safe"" sunscreen. We've since learned this is actually another GREEN WASH ALERT! Reef safe sunscreen is not a real thing. As a science-based podcast we do our best to share the most accurate information, including when we need to correct our mistakes.
Segment 1: Climate Impact on Homeowners Insurance
Climate change doesn't just affect the planet, it's also affecting insurance companies. Shelby discusses how insurance companies are failing in areas with consistent climate-related disasters and what you can do to protect yourself and your home.
Segment 2: Embracing Imperfection in Homesteading
Homesteading is one of the most sustainable lifestyles out there, but sometimes striving for perfection or aesthetic can get in the way of sustainability. Anton shares his thoughts on how adjusting your mindset on perfection can help your home serve you better.
Segment 3: Art's Role in Ocean Conservation
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Refuse. Shelby shares her experience seeing sculptures from Washed Ashore, a project that repurposes plastic debris found washed up on beaches to create sculptures resembling the marine life affected by plastic pollution.
