- Which just means that resources
are going to become more and more scarce!
- Hannah, you are so right!
You know, call me crazy and handsome,
but I think climate change
is the most important issue facing our time.
- Exactly!
- It's just a little thought I had.
(phone buzzes)
- Ahh, sorry, I gotta get this.
- Aw darn it!
- But when I come back, we're talking about Al Gore!
- Hey, cool!
Uh, guys?
I have a confession to make.
I don't care about climate change
unless a pretty girl is listening.
I mean, I don't want my kids and grandkids
to grow up on some trash planet like WALL-E,
but to be honest, it just doesn't seem
like there's that much I can do about it.
Whenever people start talking about sciencey stuff,
I just zone out:
Emissions, Co23PO, Cee-lo Greenhouse gasses,
and I definitely don't give a crap about polar bears.
If a polar bear was here,
it would probably be eating my face!
It definitely wouldn't be giving me a Coke!
(growling)
Oh.
Well.
Nevertheless, I'm starting with the man in the hot tub,
and I'm gonna make a change!
I don't know if I can save the world,
but I do know I can have a conversation,
and you know what they say:
Whoever changes one mind
has a better chance of making out with Hannah.
So let's go learn about climate change!
(upbeat music)
Hey, how do you feel about the environment?
(pig snorts)
No offense, but your dog looks weird.
(laughing)
Would you say that you care about the environment?
- The environment of earth?
- Yeah.
- Yes.
- How so?
- Wow.
- The whole global warming thing.
- What is that?
- I was hoping you could tell me.
- Oh!
- It's scary.
- Ocean temperatures.
- To be honest, for me, confusion.
- It is confusing, isn't it?! - Yeah, yeah.
What do you think of when you hear the term climate change?
(confused groaning)
That sound about sums it up.
What if I told you that burgers,
were actually really bad for the environment?
- We know this. - I know they're bad,
and I feel so guilty every time I have one.
- No you don't.
No you don't!
- Okay yeah, I feel guilty, like,
in the middle of the week when I know I've had like three.
- Yeah, exactly, that's when --
- You feel guilty in retrospect!
- Yes. - Yeah.
- But not enough to stop you!
- No. - Nah.
- What can I do to help the environment?
'Cause I think that I'm bad for the environment.
- Well, walk.
There's no need to get in the car every day.
- Wait a minute.
Your advice to me is to walk?
Dude!
Do you feel like the environment is politicized?
- Yes.
- Why?
- I think it's just the political climate that we're in
right now that makes climate change difficult to discuss.
- Do you think it's hard for conservatives and liberals
to find common ground about the environment?
- Yes.
- Why do you think that is, if we all care about it?
- Well, 'cause we're human!
We have a house, and we both have different opinions
about how that house should be cleaned or maintained.
- But at the end of the day,
you're not gonna like bulldoze the house.
- No!
- Why do you feel that the conversation
around the environment and climate change
has gotten so divisive?
(baby screaming)
I totally agree.
'Cause everyone's grabbing things for themselves.
- I think you have to be willing to listen.
- You can't just go,
here's us over here and here's them over there.
We're coming to a tipping point now
where we have to decide, not what group we belong to,
but we are human beings that have to stick together.
- If you turned us all inside out, we'd be the same person.
I mean, pretty much.
- Yeah!
Okay, I...
Please don't do that.
- I won't, not right now.
- Okay.
I'm an idiot about these these things.
(giggling)
- Well let's get one thing straight, you're not an idiot.
I'm not going to allow you to say that.
Obviously you're here and you're asking --
- You're communicating, and that is the best first step
in helping the environment.
- See, that's what I think too!
The name of this show is actually called "Earth Your While."
We're trying to figure out the best way
for people to have a conversation
in a way that actually matters.
We're gonna make the world a better place, for you.
What do you think the odds are you'll watch the show?
- 75...
Mostly.
- So like a solid C+.
- Yeah.
- Alright, I'll take it.
(Soulpancake jingle)
Hey guys, thanks for watching

Where did you get that Coke?

(electronic music)

Where'd you meet all of them?
- [Zach] Tinder.
