Few would object: Kinship is important. Humans are evolutionarily designed to live alongside others; eco-friendly communities facilitate the sharing of resources, too.
Still, many of us have minimal – (if any!) – contact with our neighbors. And although we may quite physically live within a community, so many of us feel isolated.
My guest today argues that close-knit groups are important for another reason: When it comes to sustainability, communities encourage innovation.
Today’s guest is Waylon Jepsen. Waylon grew up in an off-the-grid environment that offered a unique perspective on why, exactly, humans need each other. He’s on the show to explain how community matters; he offers ideas for engaging green-leaning neighbors, too.
