Episode 2 Now Online! Podcast: The Overstory

That’s the word ecologists use to describe the treetops. There’s a riot of life above us, but usually we’re so focused on what’s right in front that we forget to look up. The Sierra Club’s new podcast, The Overstory, provides the view from the canopy. In every episode we hear from changemakers, storytellers, and people who help us see the world in a different light and from a new angle.

In this episode we take listeners to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, which is now threatened by oil-drilling. Plus also: A radio diary from Olympic snowboarder Justin Reiter, a conversation about equity in the outdoors with Teresa Baker, and sustainable living advice from Mr. Green. Listen to episonde two.
