About this episode

The episode features interviews with environmental leaders discussing the importance of protecting Earth amidst climate change challenges.

More To The Story : As NASA’s Artemis II journeyed into space earlier this month, one of the astronauts took a photo of Earth lit by the moon known as “Hello, World.” It’s the first published photograph of our planet taken by a human since 1972.
