In Season 2, Episode 2 of Civic Discourse, host Tripp Gomez brings panelists together for a wide-ranging conversation about sustainability.

Panelists include Tony, Jessie and AJ Williams. Together, they examine sustainability through environmental practices like regenerative agriculture, composting, transportation reform and local food systems. They explore sustainability through the lens of social connection, accessibility, employment, housing and mutual support.

The discussion moves between practical grassroots efforts already taking shape in communities across the country and larger questions about burnout, political exhaustion, convenience culture and why so many people struggle to imagine alternatives outside the status quo. 

Along the way, the panel reflects on the role of nonprofits, local organizing, creative problem-solving and the importance of finding ways to contribute that align with individual skills and passions.

Watch the full episode to explore sustainability at the personal, local and collective levels. 

What steps can you take to help build a more self-sustaining community?
