Please join Dr. Kerl as she welcomes Dr. Diccon Westworth to the podcast. Dr. Westworth is a veterinary neurologist working in private practice in California and is leading efforts in the clinical sustainability domain to facilitate bringing people together and uniting them with a single purpose of fighting the existential problem that threatens us all - anthropogenic climate change; and most importantly highlighting methods to limit our ecological footprints, so we can all flourish sustainably.
In their conversation, they also talk about practical steps everyone can take to help diminish their carbon footprint in day to day life. For resources mentioned in the episode, please check out the links below:
