Nature, Beauty, and Conservation with John de Graaf

Back from Glasgow after attending COP26. It was intense which is why I am devoting 2 weeks to talk about some of the things that came out of it. I also made a few key observations while there and one of them was that Glasgow needs to clean up it's act. Literally. Pick up your trash.
My guest, filmmaker, community organizer and author John de Graaf and I talk about a few more things people can and should do. He’s been a passionate advocate for the environment, written books and made films like Affluenza that highlight how its our insatiable consumption that is destroying the planet and ourselves.
We also talk about his latest film, a biopic on the late Stewart Udall. If you haven’t heard of Udall, he was many things, including a politician with guts who stood up for Indigenous communities, racial and social justice, and the environment. He paid for that commitment by never getting elected to office in his home state of Arizona ever again. The truth is we need more politicians with the guts to stand up for the issues he stood for and we need people smart enough to vote them into office.
