Simpler OneEarth Living Episode 0122—Chuck Collins
The Common Good Podcast
Chuck Collins on the Industry That Protects Wealth and How It Hurts Everyone--Most people feel on the outside of extreme wealth. Some aspire to it. Many consider it immoral. For most of us it’s a sideshow. But Chuck says, “No! It’s not a sideshow. It’s the main show. It affects all of us.” We pay the taxes that build what everyone uses. They avoid taxes, sometimes paying none, taking no responsibility for the common good though they benefit from it. Chuck explains who makes all this work.

Ep.0621-Carrie Radloff
The Common Good Podcast
It’s far too easy to assume that not much good is happening in states that are fertile ground for the growth of right-wing ways of doing things. The states of Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota have been just such fertile soils. And yet, precisely in the area where those three states meet on the Missouri River, this effective activist on environmental concerns helps us break through this stereotype that not much good can happen in areas dominated by right-wing politicians and profit-hungry corporations.

Reversing Climate Crises through Informed Tree Actions
info_outlineScott's current thinking is about how the world could be different, if we all invested in creating the world we want to live in, rather than investing to maximize our financial returns. What would Maximizing Our JUSTICE Returns look like?
We can contrast it with Indigenous Peoples values around money. Wealth is held collectively....there are usage rights to the Earth, not ownership as white society thinks of it.
We talk about legal barriers to bringing this sort of world about, and some concrete ways that listeners can invest their own assets, and ask questions of pots of money they influence, with their employers, with their churches, with their community foundations.”
