Regeneration: Energy, Industry & The Future We Choose | Paul Hawken Series, Parts 9 & 10

Welcome, Regenerators! In this special bonus episode of Care More Be Better, we bring together Parts 9 and 10 of our Regeneration series inspired by Paul Hawken's groundbreaking book, Regeneration: Ending the Climate Crisis in One Generation. Trimmed for your listening pleasure.

Part 9: Energy We dive deep into renewable energy—from solar and geothermal to wind and microgrids. We discuss the rise of electric vehicles, heat pumps, energy storage innovations, and the need to electrify everything. I even share my journey of switching banks away from JP Morgan Chase, which heavily funds fossil fuels, and what that kind of vote-with-your-wallet action means.

Part 10: Industry We take on the hard truths about Industry—Big Food, Healthcare, Plastics, Fashion, War, and more. We explore how extractive capitalism must be replaced with regenerative thinking and practice. Along the way, I weave in insights from prior podcast guests and offer honest, tangible actions we can each take.

Key Topics Covered:

• Fossil fuel phaseout & the renewable revolution
• Electric vehicles, energy efficiency & infrastructure
• Solar, geothermal, and microgrid innovation
• Regenerative agriculture's connection to health
• The politics and economics of extractive industries
• Fashion waste, plastics pollution, and clean tech solutions
• Carbon offsets vs. carbon onsets
