Episode 5:  In this episode, the host, Angie Gust, continues discussing John Travis’s 12 dimensions of wellness as a way to improve your own personal health and wellness.  This episode focuses on moving and how the benefits of moving are associated not only with physical health, but mental health as well. She also discusses some good news in energy production, for instance, the bi-facial solar panel, and a couple examples of using the legal system to protect our planet.  Several personal actions are suggested so that everyone can be part of the solution.
