Delanie Fischer chats with activist and social reformer Robin Greenfield about his approach to living in harmony with the Earth. Known for powerful social experiments—like living with zero possessions, growing and foraging all of his own food for a year, and even wearing the trash he created to highlight consumer waste—Robin shares the philosophies that guide his life, practical ways to live more simply and sustainably, and how rethinking our relationship with money, consumption, and nature could transform the way we live.
