Abstract

Series 1: Lifestyle as Systems Change The guests in our lifestyle series are all “walking the walk.” They have integrated climate consciousness into their everyday lives and ways of being. For these experts, climate action is not a discrete choice, but an intrinsic part of their lives. From them, we can learn how to transform our practices and mindsets to be more sustainable and future-focused. In this episode, Michael Reynolds, the founder of Earthship Biotecture, shares his extensive journey in architecture and sustainable housing with Eric. He discusses the faults of how we currently build and his successes using "garbage" to build self-sufficient homes. The conversation covers his philosophy on resilience, the importance of local action, and the need for large lifestyle changes to combat climate challenges.
