Oceans of Hope

Oceans of Hope

The climate is changing. Oceans are warming. The weather is becoming more extreme. These are events that impact each of our lives every day. It can’t be up to scientists, politicians, and activists to make a positive change. Sustainability and climate conscientiousness can become a part of our individual lifestyles. Making a difference isn’t about the protests you go to or the money you donate, though those are great, it is about the hope and the habits that you have in your daily life! My name is Jordan Ferré. I am a graduate of Stanford University’s Earth Systems Program where I studied Environmental Science with a focus on Marine Science and Science Communication. I created this podcast to make climate and marine science feel more like a lifestyle issue because it is! I am excited to chat with you about the habits that I am forming and how I am working to incorporate being a climate-conscious citizen into my daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly routine. I am also excited to chat with sustainability and environmentalism trailblazers, experts in the field, and regular people like you and me about how they find hope for the future of our environment. Hopefully, my journey & insight from the collective of hopeful environmentalists will inspire you to do the same!

Happy Monday! Welcome back to my mythology series on the podcast. Today I look into conservation and climate change in Norse Mythology. This one is a bit different than the Greek Mythology episode; instead of focusing on one god or goddess, we are looking at the Ragnarok myth and its connection to what will happen with climate change if we don't make a change. The Norse were intimately connected with the world around them and it sh...

Happy World Oceans Day!! This Thursday (June 8th) is World Oceans Day when we take special care to show the oceans a little love. Similar to Earth Day we should always be showing the oceans our love but on this day we get to be more intentional about it. For World Oceans Day this year, I collected love letters to the ocean from some amazing people who all love the ocean very much!
