Outrage + Optimism

244. Movies, Mosses, and Stories to Change The World

This week, Tom and Christiana are in Seattle recording in the Amazon studio where they are joined by special guest Kara Hurst, Chief Sustainability Officer at Amazon. Together they bring you an eclectic mix of topics of outrage and optimism ranging from the introduction of the Bechdel test for climate change, storytelling with the national geographic and mosses! The nature sounds that close the podcast come from <a href="https://onesquareinch.org/">One Square Inch</a> located in the Hoh Rain Forest at Olympic National Park. Thanks goes to <a href="https://www.quietparks.org/">Quiet Parks International</a> for allowing us to use the audio of this oasis of calm and quiet.
