In this powerful Earth Day episode, Yhea Foo Nah Foo welcomes back Brother Anthony, our favorite environmental scientist and biologist, for a wild ride through Carnival, climate policy, and real talk about saving the planet.
We kick things off catching up on Anthony’s trip to Brazil—street parties, pre-Carnival madness, and a surprising lesson in community safety. Then we dive into the truth about Earth Day, how it started, and why 25 U.S. states are still committed to the Paris Agreement, even if the federal government pulls out.
From plastic recycling myths to climate justice cake analogies, this episode is full of insights, laughs, and practical hacks (like reusable coffee cups and bulk shopping bags) that make sustainability accessible.
💥 Topics include:
- What Carnival can teach us about culture and consumption
- The origin of Earth Day and its Republican roots
- Why the Paris Climate Agreement still matters
- The shocking truth about plastic recycling in the U.S.
- Real Earth Day hacks to reduce your footprint
- How the U.S. uses 24% of the world’s resources with just 4.7% of the population

🎧 Whether you're an eco-warrior or eco-curious, this one’s for you.
