Do your eyes glaze over when looking at a long list of annual health insurance enrollment options – or maybe while you’re trying to calculate how much you owe the IRS? You might be wondering the same thing we are: Where’s the guidebook for all of this grown-up stuff? Whether opening a bank account, refinancing student loans, or purchasing car insurance (...um, can we just roll the dice without it?), we’re just as confused as you are. Enter: “Grown-Up Stuff: How to Adult” a podcast dedicated ...

In this episode, we dive deep into the global water cycle, and how repairing degraded landscapes and increasing water retention can help to stabilize global temperatures. We talk about Zach's work, where he has worked on projects in over twenty countries, and about the practical nuts and bolts of assessing, planning, and installing large scale permaculture water management projects. Zach's Links: www.elementalecosystems.com We cover a lot of the science behind deforestation, precipitation, and atmospheric circulation. In order to back up many of the assertions in this episode, here is a list of links to scientific papers here: How Forests Attract Rain: An Examination of a New Hypothesis.
