A Breath of Fresh Earth explores the great things happening in the fight for a clean planet. During each episode I’ll give a shout-out to Climate heroes making a huge impact with new technologies and ideas. We’ll have our share of climate villains, too. I’ll tell you about new products available to purchase, who to follow on social media, reviews of environmentally themed movies, books, and songs, apps and websites, the air quality index and the current CO2 level. They’ll be exciting news about wind and solar energy, plant-based food, electronic vehicles, the fight against plastic in the ocean and much more. Best of all, I’ll give you easy steps to help in this battle and you won’t have to leave the comfort of your couch to do it!
