The Green Place is the podcast of the green revolution.

The Green Place is a podcast focused on all things related to the climate and our planet.

Discourse on the climate is by and large pessimistic. However, we at The Green Place see that real change is happening as our economy finally transitions toward a sustainable equilibrium. We wanted to take some of that optimism and bring it to a larger audience for those who seek more information about how our society’s care for our planet is shifting in a positive direction. Our interviews will focus on the entrepreneurs and thinkers leading the Green Revolution.

Here you will be able to listen to conversations between our host, James Atfield, and some of the leaders helping to save Earth. Each episode will be 15 to 30 minutes in length. We know your time is valuable. So come join us over to the Green Place to learn more about the climate space and the future of our planet..
