    99: Unless Someone Like You Cares a Whole Awful Lot (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    Who can we count on to make the dramatic changes needed in a civilization in ecological overshoot? Will it have to be the leaders of tomorrow? And are they up to it? We take the pulse of students at the University of Denver just wrapping up an ecological economics class. The class conversation took place in May, 2025. Special thanks to Professor Paul Sutton for devoting a class period to this conversation (incidentally, Paul has since retired from teaching and joined the board of GrowthBusters).
