About This Podcast
For people who care about the environment, but are just too darn BUSY to figure out what to do.
I’m Deb, and I’m an environerd. This podcast (an audio version of my blog, CitizenDeb.com) is part of my attempt to save the planet...or at least get folks to use less plastic. Topics range from the myth of recycling to town hall solar shenanigans to making climate solutions CUTE.
This thing called “the environment” is overwhelming. Definitely intimidating. And sometimes boring. Deb is the perfect person to explain it. So listen up. :-)
