  • Geo thermal heating and cooling residential

    After listening to this episode, I’m going to explore geothermal heating seems like a no-brainer very well explained by the CEO of this company and the moderator was also great asking the right questions.

  • Great show!

    Your show is definitely a go-to for people like me who want to be updated on the trends about sustainability. Your recent episode with Erica Moretti made me realize how we can play a role as consumers in reducing waste and helping save our environment. Season 3 will for sure be another successful season with a variety of digestible topics.

  • Pains me to say this...

    But it’s so bad. I want it to be good so much but it’s painfully boring. I can hear the hosts breathing into the mics the whole time. It is like a real-life version of the Delicious Dish sketch with Molly Shannon and Ana Gasteyer. This could be such a great, interesting podcast but you’re going to want to get some fresher hosts or producers.

    I just listened to the most recent episode (July 31, 2018) discussing ‘sustainability’. How can anyone take this podcast seriously? The host discusses ‘packaging’ of meats and fish. If she were remotely serious about sustainability, she would discuss not eating them. They discuss packaging of Amazon deliveries, where the host says: ‘these occur daily’. Anyone serious about sustainability is serious about reduction of consumption, not just how much packaging is used. These people aren’t. I’ve uns... more
