How to actually save the Earth
Most of us want to do our part for the planet. We recycle, bring reusable bags to the store, and try to cut back on waste. But does any of it actually make a difference?
This week, I sat down with Paul Hawken, one of the world’s leading environmentalists and the author of Carbon: The Book of Life, and his answer surprised me.

Paul believes we’ve been looking at climate change backwards.
He breaks down why fear-based climate messaging hasn’t worked, and why it often overwhelms rather than inspires action.
He also challenges the common belief that carbon is the enemy, revealing its essential role in life itself.
And most importantly, he shares the real solution isn’t about restriction or guilt, but about reconnecting with nature in ways that feel natural—even if you live in a city.
