76 Now Here's What We Call an Eco-Superhero

Published: Jan. 15, 2023, 11:20 p.m.

Getting take-out in your own reusable container, recycling bubble-wrap properly, and getting arrested \u2013 it\u2019s all in a day\u2019s work for an eco-superhero. Stephanie and Dave learn about climate activism with Extinction Rebellion, sharing quirky sustainability life hacks on social media, and the joy of a 58-hour train trip \u2013 from Stephanie\u2019s former co-worker and friend, James Comiskey.

Find out...

  • why James is angry and thinks he has a right to be
  • if #AmtrakLife should be your new favorite hashtag
  • why Steve Bannon wears three shirts at one time
  • why Dave proposes we organize a conference for journalists (spoiler, we can\u2019t resist: to \u201cdeprogram\u201d the pro-growth bias that\u2019s been instilled in them)

On the GrowthBusters podcast, we come to terms with the limits to growth, explore the joy of sustainable living, and provide a recovery program from our society\u2019s growth addiction (economic/consumption and population). This podcast is part of the GrowthBusters project to raise awareness of overshoot and end our culture\u2019s obsession with, and pursuit of, growth.

Dave Gardner directed the documentary GrowthBusters: Hooked on Growth, which Stanford Biologist Paul Ehrlich declared \u201ccould be the most important film ever made.\u201d Co-host, and self-described "energy nerd," Stephanie Gardner has degrees in Environmental Studies and Environmental Law & Policy.
