“Save the planet.” It’s a simple yet powerful call to action.

We’re at a watershed moment in the climate crisis. It’s no secret that we’re here because we haven’t always shown up for the planet. Nevertheless, the planet has always shown up for us. So, for Season Two of A Little Green, we’re reconnecting with the environment by exploring the many ways it saves us. You'll hear real stories, told by the people who lived them, of lives saved, changed, inspired, and transformed by the endless power of nature and this beautiful place we call home. 

A Little Green is a short podcast series by Avocado Green Brands.

&lt;p&gt;S3 E8: “We have created this future... I think we can also create a different future.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let’s dream for a moment... not about a New York that survives climate change, but one that actually &lt;i&gt;thrives&lt;/i&gt; in the future. It’s not a simple task, but luckily, there are people like Gita Nandan out there doing some serious reimagining. Gita is a designer, architect, and co-founder of the R.E.T.I. Center in Red Hook. She and Christina discuss how Gita works with the community to build innovative climate solutions. Some of them can even seem out of another world – one that’s guided by the principles of environmental justice, a regenerative economy, and social responsibility. Gita shares her vision with Christina and proposes a refreshing alternative to resilience. In this final episode of the season, we also take a moment to celebrate the resilience and survival of our city more than a decade after Superstorm Sandy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Resources:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.weather.gov/water/high_water#:~:text=To%20help%20raise%20awareness%20of,than%20location%20of%20the%20flood.&quot;&gt;NWS High Water Mark Project&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Featured in this episode:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.linkedin.com/in/gita-nandan-56926012/&quot;&gt;Gita Nandan&lt;/a&gt; – Founder of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reticenter.org/&quot;&gt;RETI (Resilience, Education, Training and Innovation) Center&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.instagram.com/redhookbarnacles/?hl=en&quot;&gt;The Barnacle Parade&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;<br />
