The Verdant Growth Daily

So after doing the daily for nearly 40 episodes, I'm moving to America, which means I need to take a bit of a break to move my entire life across the Pacific ocean. I will hopefully be back in some capacity after the move, but it will depend on my job situation, living situation, etc. Make sure to follow me to get updates on what's happening! Thank you all so much for tuning in. I'll be back!Find me online:Blog: https://verdantgrowth.blog/Live Eco Subreddit: https://reddit.com/r/LiveEcoYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC24IiwM0BPQ-_3DVz2KnuVwTwitter: https://twitter.com/VerdantGrowthFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/realverdantgrowthInstagram: http://instagram.com/verdant.growthReddit: https://reddit.com/u/RealVerdantGrowth

The fossil fuel industry has been trying to cloud their impact on climate and the planet for decades, so it's really important that we recognize when they're trying to use their tactics to confuse us.
