We just released our Doom & Gloom episode of "Mother Nature Doesn't Give a Crap" and it's a real eye-opener. Here are my three takeaways from the episode:

1. We are facing self-induced annihilation. The two primary causes that can lead to our extinction are climate change and the destruction of our natural habitats. It's time to get serious about tackling these issues before it's too late.

2. We need to be movers, not spectators. There are movers and shakers in this world, and we need to be among them. We can all contribute to making things happen and creating a better future for ourselves and our planet.

3. We need to take control of the things we can control. While there are some things on this planet that we can't control, there are many others that we can. We need to find a way of capping and reversing the damage we've done to our environment, and that starts with taking responsibility for our actions.

I hope you'll tune in to this episode and share your thoughts with us. It's a tough subject, but it's one we need to face head-on if we want to create a better future for ourselves and our planet. Thanks for listening!
