The CREATE Connections podcast centers on the idea that no matter what roles you hold - elected official, parent, volunteer, student, or other - you are a crucial part of climate action in your community. We are all impacted by climate change and other environmental hazards, and we all have strengths and resources we can bring to make our community more resilient.

We will “CREATE Connections” as we interview a variety of guests to explore how they have found their place in the network of people and organizations working to build healthy, sustainable, resilient, people-centered places to live and work. Along the way, we will highlight opportunities for listeners to take action and form new connections throughout our region!

Episode 4 features Nature’s Way Market in Easton. We talk to Amanda and Eliana about steps the store takes to be more sustainable, which resulted in them receiving the “committed” level of recognition in the Lehigh Valley Sustainable Business Program, an upcoming sale and maker’s market as part of Climate Action Week, and more of the role small businesses can play in local sustainability and climate action.
