The Carbon Almanac Origin Story, Idea to Project in 24 Hours and Coming Together in Community to Change Culture
Featuring Carbon Almanac Founder Seth Godin and Portfolio Editor in Chief Niki Papadopoulos
In this episode, Jennifer is joined by Seth and Niki to explore the spark behind The Carbon Almanac. Seth shares why he started this, where the idea came from, what he accomplished in 24 hours and how he chose the Almanac format for the book. We learn from Niki about her role in the Almanac and how this project is different from others that she has worked on.
This is the episode to dive into if you want to hear more about how this project came to be. Why now? What's the urgency? Why choose an almanac over another format, why use a community to write a book? How can we change the culture? And how is the Carbon Almanac like the pit of a cherry?
The conversation explores the early phase of writing the book as well as the establishment of the Almanac community. Seth dives into how it's evolved, who he asked to join first, and both Niki and Seth explain their most challenging moment so far. They share the personal impact this project has had on them and where they hope the project will be in a year from now. All while reminding us that it is not too late to join the Carbon Almanac project and create meaningful contributions and take action on climate.

Bonus - A Pause, An Almanac, and The Carbon Almanac Collective
Welcome back to the Talaterra podcast!
A landmark project pulled me away, and I let it take priority during an intense period of its production. So I return to podcasting by explaining where I've been, and to do this, I've decided to share a conversation I had for The Carbon Almanac Collective. This podcast is one of the podcasts built around _The Carbon Almanac_, a book of facts that will make it easier for ALL of us to talk about climate change.
I had the opportunity to contribute to The Carbon Almanac Project and am excited to share that the book will be published next week. To learn more, visit thecarbonalmanac.org.
Special thanks to Jennifer Myers Chua, Executive Producer of The Carbon Almanac Podcast Network, for allowing me to share this episode with you.

The climate is the fundamental issue of our time, and now we face a critical decision. Whether to be optimistic or fatalistic, whether to profess skepticism or to take action.
Yet it seems we can barely agree on what is really going on, let alone what needs to be done. We urgently need facts, not opinions. Insights, not statistics. And a shift from thinking about climate change as a “me” problem to a “we” problem.
The Carbon Almanac is a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration between hundreds of writers, researchers, thinkers, and illustrators that focuses on what we know, what has come before, and what might happen next.
Drawing on over 1,000 data points, the book uses cartoons, quotes, illustrations, tables, histories, and articles to lay out carbon’s…
