Earth Is Now Our Only Shareholder

If we have any hope of a thriving planet—much less a business—it is going to take all of us doing what we can with the resources we have. This is what we can do.

Listen to “Leaving the Races Behind” Dirtbag Diaries Podcast Episode

The Dirtbag Diaries  /  Feb 24, 2017  /  1 Min Read  /  Community

If you travel down to Ushuaia, Argentina, you might just find a bus plastered with a massive photograph of Sam Evans-Brown. In that photo, he’s sprinting, shoulder to shoulder, with Olympic cross-country ski-racer Martin Bianchi in the final stretch of the 2008 national ski championship of Argentina.

Today, Sam brings us the backstory to that photograph—a story about a split-second act of kindness that altered the course of Martin’s life, and about figuring out when it’s time to leave the races behind.

Sam hosts the podcast Outside In, a show from New Hampshire Public Radio about the natural world and how we use it.

A version of this story originally aired on Outside In. You can find “Don’t Cheer for Me, Argentina” here.
