16 分钟If there’s one thing that connects all humans, it’s that everything we walk on, breathe, drink, and eat comes from the same source: planet Earth. From composting to cooking to taking climate action, today’s guests (including Chef Sean Sherman, comedian Jo Firestone, and activist Luisa Neubauer) share the many ways they try to connect to and protect the home we share-- and invite you to get involved in whatever way you can. You can check out TED’s efforts to build a world that is safer, cleaner and fairer for everyone at countdown.ted.com.

Ted audio collective, you're listening to how to be a better human.
I'm your host, Chris Duffy.
On our last episode of the show, I spoke with my friend, comedian Joe Firestone.
And at the end of that conversation, as I always do at the end of our interviews for this show, I asked Joe how she was personally trying to be a better human.
Here's what she had to say.
So I used to have a compost bin.
Do you know the brown ones provided by the city?
The ones that are rat proof?
So then they took them away.
The city took them away.
City's bringing them back.
And so today, I asked for one for my building.
Big one.
There's 13 gallon, 21 gallon.
I said, I'm gonna do the 21 gallon.
I don't know if my landlord's gonna let this happen, but I'm trying.
Cause I don't like throwing away food.
That's great.
I admire that.
I've been trying to compost myself.
