Our Carbon Problem

Our Carbon Problem

The world has a big fat carbon problem. There’s already too much of it in the atmosphere and –  thanks to both our lifestyles and corporations’ polluting, business-as-usual practices – we’re emitting even more carbon into the atmosphere each and every second.

Enter carbon capturing.

Today in honor of Climate Optimism Week we are outlining the latest and greatest in the carbon capture game.

Here’s a preview:

[2:00] A carbon capture primer: What it is, why we need it, and why trees are simply no longer enough

[5:00] 2 examples of small-scale carbon solutions

[11:00] The main differences between post combustion capture and direct air capture

[18:00] What on earth should we do with the carbon we end up capturing?

[21:00]  Let’s not put all our eggs in the carbon capture basket! Here’s why

Unhappy? You're Normal

Cultural messaging and suggests you should be happy all the time. But your "happy chemicals"—dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphin—evolved to motivate survival behavior, not make you happy.

In fact, unhappiness is your brain's default state.

On today's show Dr. Loretta Breuning argues that you can manage your happy chemicals when you know how they work in the state of nature, and she's here to show us how.

Here's a preview:

[9:00] Serotonin is about social dominance. Enter comparison and competition

[13:00] Want a dose of oxytocin? Be part of a herd

[15:30] Endorphin is the brain's natural opioid. But you can habituate to it!

[18:00] Just got something you want? That flood of happiness is dopamine's doing, but dopamine runs out

[25:00] We are living in an era of immense abundance. So why aren't we happy?
