New Year’s Reflections 2022
An Informal Conversation With 5 Activists: Thoughts About The Past Year and What’s To Come
With Katherine Congdon, Heidi Cohen, Bettina Barbier, Jennifer Grace and Eric Eaton.
With Special Appearance By Sasha.*
LISTEN HERE: New Year’s Reflections with 5 Activists
Show Description:
Join HealthyPlanet’s Bob DiBenedetto and five friends and longtime health/environmental/animal activists for an informal discussion about the transition from 2021 to 2022. They talk about everything from personal reflections on being grateful at a time of global unrest, to missed opportunities, to those things that challenged their previous notions of what was possible, to what freaked them out about 2021, to what gives us all hope for the future.
Listen in to eavesdrop on this relaxed discussion between old friends!
