    In their latest episode, hosts Hannah, Zach, and Katie embark on a virtual summer road trip, inviting listeners to ponder a series of "would you rather" questions that are anything but trivial. These questions aren't just idle chatter—they're a springboard for deeper discussions about the impact of our choices on the environment and how we can navigate them without compromising our conservative principles.

    The episode kicks off with a light-hearted yet revealing debate on the merits of visiting a nude beach. As the conversation unfolds, it becomes a metaphor for the vulnerability we face when confronting environmental issues. The hosts aren't afraid to bare it all, discussing the complexities of eco-friendly living with a refreshing blend of humor and sincerity.

    From there, the discussion shifts gears to more pressing topics, such as the advantages of public transportation over personal electric vehicles. The hosts don't shy away from the tough questions, like whether it's better to invest in eco-friendly electric vehicles for personal use or advocate for improved public transportation systems. They weigh the pros and cons, considering factors like cost, convenience, and the broader impact on society and the environment.

    The conversation takes a turn to the practical when the hosts discuss the choice between cloth diapers and sustainably sourced disposable diapers. It's a real-life dilemma that many young parents face, and the hosts delve into the environmental, ethical, and personal factors that influence such decisions.

    Perhaps the most contentious topic of the episode is the debate on trophy hunting versus the protection of endangered species. The hosts tackle this complex issue with nuance, exploring the economic, ecological, and moral dimensions of wildlife conservation.

    Throughout the episode, the Green Tea.Party podcast does more than entertain—it educates and empowers. The hosts encourage listeners to engage with their representatives, participate in political discussions, and take actionable steps toward a more sustainable future.

    🗣️ Quotes from Hannah

    "We've become very reliant and very dependent on these systems of plastic water bottle and filtered water coming out of your sink, that, like, we've completely forgotten how to be self sufficient without those things."

    🗣️ Quotes from Zach

    "I would rather keep the plastic water bottles because those are easier to deliver in natural disasters and in times of crisis to people who might not have clean drinking water at that time."

    🗣️ Quotes from Katie

    "If you can feed multiple birds with one big old bird seed scone, if you invest in improved public transportation systems. That's my take on that."

  • Young Conservatives and Old Climate Science
    Apr 24 2024

    Dive into a world where conservatism meets environmentalism!🌸 Spring is in the air, and so is our new podcast episode! 🎙️ Hannah shares with Zach and Katie the history of climate science. 🌍 Learn about the pioneers who paved the way for our understanding of climate change.

    It's easy to assume that the complexities of climate science are reserved for the academic elite, but this episode breaks down that misconception. You'll hear about Eunice Foote, a woman whose early experiments with greenhouse gases in the 1850s were groundbreaking yet overlooked due to her gender and nationality. Guy Stewart Callender and Charles Keeling, two more pioneers in the field, are also celebrated for their dedication and discoveries that laid the foundation for modern climate research.

    🗣️ Quotes from Hannah Rogers

    "Understanding earth systems is an enormous undertaking, because the earth is enormous, and it's also changing very fast."

    🗣️ Quotes from Katie Zakresky

    "Not everybody can be a scientist, okay? But I think everybody can follow the scientific method."

    🗣️ Quotes from Zach Torpy

    "I know they have very strong bonds. They're hard to break. Carbon dioxide, so long. That's why they last so long in the atmosphere."

  • Charlotte the Stingray and a Ray of Hope for Climate Change
    Apr 17 2024

    This week on our podcast, we dive deep into how conservative action is making real strides in environmental protection. From Brazil's remarkable reduction in tropical forest logging to France's bold legislation against fast fashion, we're showcasing how conservative solutions are paving the way for a greener future. Plus, don't miss the extraordinary story of Charlotte the stingray and her contribution to marine science.

    🗣️ Quote from Zach Torpie

    "This is the difference between literally electing someone who hates the environment and, like, somebody who's like, okay, we gotta protect it."

    Our hosts, Zach and Katie , kick off the discussion with some heartening news from Brazil and Colombia, where a staggering 39% decline in tropical forest logging showcases the tangible results of political commitment to the environment. The message is clear: our choices at the ballot box have direct consequences for our planet. It's a testament to the power of political action and a call to conservatives everywhere to prioritize environmental stewardship in their political agenda.

    But that's not all. The episode takes a critical look at the fashion industry with France's groundbreaking proposal to penalize low-cost clothing retailers for their environmental impact. This move by the French Parliament could set a precedent for other nations to follow, sparking a global crackdown on fast fashion and its contribution to environmental degradation.

    And then there's Charlotte the stingray, who's making a splash in marine biology with her unprecedented asexual pregnancy. Charlotte's story isn't just fascinating—it's a reminder of the miracles of nature that we are fighting to protect.

    Our hosts also delve into the synergy between wind power and heat pumps, a combination that could slash energy bills and emissions in one fell swoop. This kind of innovative thinking is exactly what the conservative environmental movement is all about—solutions that don't sacrifice economic growth for ecological gain.

    The Green Tea Party isn't just a podcast; it's a rallying cry for young conservatives who believe that their voice matters in the climate conversation. It's about breaking stereotypes and showing the world that conservative environmentalism isn't an oxymoron but a vital perspective in the fight against climate change.
