Boulder High Schooler Anya Hoth talks w/Waylon about how we can all be Eco.

In the latest episode of Elephant's long-running, award-winning podcast and video series Walk the Talk Show with Waylon Lewis, Waylon features fellow Boulderite and high school senior Anya Hoth about how we can all live an "ecofolks" lifestyle. They talk over living zero waste, eco transportation, how environmentalism is related to our health, if voting matters, and how parents can inspire their children to give a care. 

Waylon: "I don't want to sound like old people everywhere, but how old are you..?"

Anya: "I'm 18! I would like to talk about the potency of changing our actions to help the climate in this dire and gloomy doomy time."

Waylon: "Yeah. Everyone's kind of depressed. We don't know what to do. We kind of hope the president or the king or the emperor of the universe takes care of stuff. And a lot of us do "eco" things like you and I in our own life, but we often hear that doing things is pointless and doesn't matter."

Anya: "Everyone working together really needs to happen. You need to think wide-scale and say, 'Hey, it's not just Boulder working on this problem. It's all the counties in Denver, all the counties outside of Denver—Broomfield, Aurora—all over the state, and all over the country. The world. We need to start using each other's ideas.'"
