People, planet, and health - can we choose just one? Our vodcast series of the same name brings to light the intersection and conjunction of all three. These entities rely on us to keep life on earth in delicate balance. We all play a part, and we need to learn how to live better together.

Season One of “People, Planet, and Health” discussed some of the major issues effecting life on earth today: Plastics, Food, Water, and Air. In Episode 6, we revisit some of the takeaway points from the first five, the issues and victories in the stewardship and health of all land and all people, and we ask our own crew members what they’ve learned. One key fact: if science and technology doesn’t serve people or the place they live, then it’s not really working!

In Season 2, we’re taking it to the next level. If you think about and care for people, planet, and health, we need to gather in community, talk about it, and take action. Engage in conversation, and build on the good, “stay tuned!”

We are open to story ideas and want to know what you’re doing in your community, so please reach out! Drop us a line, or even a short video, we’d love to share it: ecovideo@archatl.com or tag us in your social media post @ArchATL.
