In spite of this startling fact,  very little is being done at the government or corporate level to enact  change in infrastructure to help save ourselves from this environmental  impact. But the natural world is always working towards a place of  homeostasis. With nature's assistance, there are a number of practical  changes we can make to help both the planet and ourselves. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/chrisricenow/support

Andrew Yang is a futurist and the only politician presently running who supports a universal basic income.
