Returning to Myrnam

Michael is on a quest to get his environmental footprint as low as humanly possible, so he built his own off-grid tiny house. But he doesn’t know if all the downsizing and minimizing make a difference. He feels in over his head! It’s time to bring in the experts. Join Michael as he sits down with scientists, policymakers, industry leaders, and environmental experts to figure out how to effectively reduce his footprint, while also exploring the bigger questions around sustainability and the good life.
