Chris: Thanks for having me, Spiffy. We are helping to build a more sustainable future for the people and the planet by conserving species and ecosystems and reducing the carbon footprint of people. My team and I work in communications and marketing to help tell the most important stories of the challenges the planet is facing in order to survive and thrive and help people understand what we can all do about it. There is so much complex and worrying information out there that we are trying to help people understand what is really happening and what we can do—whether by supporting with our protests, with our donations, or with our personal actions and choices. The work we support, the petitions and protests we make, and the way we live our lives can make a massive difference.

Sterling Higa: Though Hawai‘i is often stereotyped as paradise, it comes at a price. The cost of living in Hawai‘i is more than many locals can afford. Housing is the largest expense for most families. The underlying economics of building in Hawai‘i, a burdensome system of regulations, and NIMBY ("not in my backyard") opposition groups combine to create a system where not much housing is being built at a price that local families can afford. Housing Hawaii's Future rallies students and young locals to educate themselves, get civically engaged, and take action to address the housing affordability crisis in Hawai‘i.

Caroline: Glad to be with you, Spiffy! Traditional, animal-derived food products are highly desirable to most of the world population. Did you know that, in 2020 alone, 574 million metric tons (the weight of or 50,000 Eiffel Towers) of meat, fish, dairy, and eggs were consumed?
