105: How one dude is making a difference with Rob Greenfield

In this episode, we talk to, Rob Greenfield. He is an activist and humanitarian dedicated to leading the way to a more sustainable world. He is also the author of http://robgreenfield.tv/dude/ (Dude Making a Difference) and the creator of http://robgreenfield.tv/tedxfoodwastefiasco/ (The Food Waste Fiasco). He’s been named “The Robin Hood of modern times” by France 2 TV and “The Forest Gump of Ecology. He has been taking on many challenges over the years like cycling around the US on a bamboo bicycle, wearing his trash for 30 days in New York and growing and foraging all of his own food for a year and is currently travelling the world with all his possessions that fit in a backpack.    During this episode, we take a look at his decision to earn no more than the federal threshold each year. We also look at the 44 items he owned, fitting in his backpack and what key items he cannot go without. He also shares with us his journey from wearing his trash for 30 days to growing and foraging all his food for a year and gave us some tips on how we can help out Mama Earth.   http://robgreenfield.tv/wstnonprofits/ (Indigenous and women-led grassroots environmental organizations that Rob support) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqTkiLxIE9Y (My 44 possessions, everything I own fits in my backpack) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_yFuVnL0us (How to turn your yard into a garden, grow food not lawns) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JPWdvs3zsc (Grow and forage 100% of your food in central Florida) https://robgreenfield.tv/foodfreedompreorder/ (Food Freedom Book, pre-order) Where can people find Rob? https://www.facebook.com/RobGreenfield/ (Facebook) https://www.instagram.com/robjgreenfield/ (Instagram) https://twitter.com/RobJGreenfield (Twitter) https://www.youtube.com/user/RobJGreenfield (YouTube) https://www.robgreenfield.org/ (Website) KEY TAKE AWAY“When we actually depend upon each other then we figure out ways to make sure that we are lifting others up, rather than
