Adina Merenlender  is the author of author of Climate Stewardship: Taking Collective Action to Protect California. She is a well respected conservation biologist with decades of research experience and a deep understanding of Californian ecosystems.  In this episode, Lito and Casey talk with Adina about the book and go into some specifics about water deficit, community clean energy, and the advantages of using homemade natural inputs rather than store bought nutrients.  The brothers loved Adina's book and their enthusiasm comes through in the interview. And just like in the book, the conversation has a feeling of hope woven throughout despite the topic.
