Just a few of my favorite takeaways from this episode:

\\u201cDo you really give a shit about other people enough to be having it determine your decision making?\\u201d

Tweet This: \\u201cThere is a lot of choice here about how exactly you embody sustainability.\\u201d

\\u201cWe need to actually have a culture that supports people in living their values rather than having their values as something that is an afterthought in their lives. or that is the secondary thing. It really needs to become the primary thing. Living in a community like Dancing\\xa0Rabbit allows you to do that.\\u201d

A New Concept:

  • Materialized empathy

Life changing advice:

  • Always follow your intuition, your life could depend on it.

You don\\u2019t buy a lot of stuff but what is one item you\\u2019ve chosen to buy new that has drastically improved you life:

  • Toaster over, perfect for cooking meals for 1!
