3 Tough Truths: The Bill Gates Climate Debate
We kick off 2026 with eco updates—from a low-plastic electric toothbrush to a puzzle rental service that’s redefining reuse—before diving into a much bigger conversation. This episode unpacks Bill Gates’ 2025 open letter “Three Tough Truths About Climate Change,” exploring why it sparked such strong reactions across the climate spectrum. We break down the key arguments, share both supportive and critical perspectives, and wrestle with the tension between climate mitigation and human welfare. Expect thoughtful debate, big feelings, and an honest discussion about what climate action should really center: people, the planet, or both.
