The Roundary

Can Doc and Marty travel Back to the Future to prevent catastrophic sea level rise? One thing is certain, we can learn from our past to fix the present, but the future, the future is what we make it. So let's make it a good one!

Maybe Labor Day can be more than bbqs and facebook statuses. Maybe it can be a day for everyone, on both sides of a transaction, to consider what kind of future we all want. Not to just be content with past victories, but to acknowledge that there are still battles to be fought, at home and abroad. Maybe it can be a day that we act, we take to the streets and demand more from our corporate overlords. Maybe there are already such demonstrations going on, but they aren’t deemed worthy by mainstream media? The fact is, we will only achieve change by working together, whether through formalized unions or rag tag grass-roots efforts. We have to stick together with an eye on the future, and a better life for all inhabitants of America, and planet earth.

"What's the big idea?" This question is uttered and muttered thousands of times daily in New York City. Have you ever heard anyone answer it? What is the big idea, New York? In this episode, recorded live in NYC, we play a game show to generate big ideas for the Big Apple to be a completely sustainable urban environment, that other metropolises (metropolai?) can replicate. Meet the panel: Rochelle March, artist and sustainability analyst, founder of Earth of Foxes Lily Russell, supply chain analyst and founder of Explain the Chain Tim Maher, catastrophe risk analyst Do you think any of the ideas from this episode are feasible? Do you have any ideas for the challenge areas we discussed? theroundary.comtwitter.com/theroundaryfacebook.com/theroundary
