Podcasting is an important component in the educational work of OneEarth Living.

The CLT model holds land in trust but allows sales of houses upon that land, with the price of the land being removed from the sale, the price for housing can be far more within reach for working…
The fault of our economic system these days is that it doesn’t know what enough is. That is, enough is never enough unless it involves a little bit more. So goes the logic of the economic thought for the last century and more, particularly in America. Unfortunately, there are few checks and balances on…
The absolute common denominator of being human is that one day we meet our deaths. It stirs the full spectrum of our emotions, engages our spiritual selves, and can cost a lot economically.
