Episode 38: Fires, Floods, Climate Disaster, and Veganism with Glen Merzer
On this episode, we have Glen Merzer joining us. Glen has authored and co-authored eleven books about veganism. He was a playwright and also wrote for network television for many years before stumbling into a career writing books that advocate for a plant based diet. His latest book, Food Is Climate, argues that the best way to reverse climate change is a global shift to a vegan diet. Glen talks to Hope about how rewilding millions of acres of grazing land is our best chance for fast and effective drawdown of carbon emissions. Glen also debunks the proposed new farming methods of “regenerative” animal agriculture and grass-fed meat, and enlightens us about how important the oceans are to the climate equation. Join us for an important discussion about the future of the planet and how we can save it.
