Why Don't We See Environmental Numbers on Everything Like the Stock Market or a Nutritional Label? Ep4

I got this sense a few years ago, that if people could see the numbers that made up their environmental footprint (such as the litres of water they used in a shower or the number trees felled to make their toilet paper) in an immediate and easy-to-understand way, then this data must, absolutely must, cause the person to use less resources, right? I had such a strong hunch about this connection that it has obsessed me ever since. This episode is about why the public disclosure of data matters and how it enables change.  Sign up to join the live group "Fitbit for the Planet" calls at katiepatrick.com/fitbit.
