    Why Being Lazy and Selfish Might Save the Planet | The Masoom Minawala Show

    This World Environment Day, we bring you an episode that is not just a conversation, but a crucial call to action. In a world grappling with the escalating climate crisis, understanding its human impact and discovering joyful, actionable solutions has never been more vital. Join us for a transformative discussion with Prachi Shevgaonkar, a trailblazer who is redefining climate action. This episode is a powerful reminder that every one of us has a role to play, and by watching and learning from Prachi's incredible journey, we can find our own path to making a significant difference, starting today.Prachi’s story begins not with fame or accolades, but with a letter written by her eight-year-old self. That forgotten letter, rediscovered a decade later, changed everything. From walking away from engineering school to shadowing grassroots leaders and working alongside farmers and waste pickers, she redefined her path by listening to her inner compass. Today, she’s the founder of Cool The Globe, a climate-action app with users in over 150 countries, and the youngest Indian ever appointed to the advisory board of the Climate Leadership Coalition. But more than her achievements, it’s her message—that climate action can be joyful, personal, and deeply human—that makes her unforgettable.Conversation Highlights- How a forgotten childhood letter reignited her purpose and sparked a global movement- The life-altering moments she experienced while working with farmers and waste pickers- Her candid admission: “I didn’t care about climate change… until I saw how it hurt people”- How she built Cool The Globe from her college dorm—and why impact begins at home- The emotional stories behind climate statistics: from a refugee mother’s fight for education to a grandmother’s magical blessing- Actionable steps you can take (even if you're lazy!)—and how climate action can be fun, not guilt-driven- Why she believes young people and content creators are uniquely positioned to change the worldIf you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by climate change or unsure where to start, this episode is for you. Whether you're a parent, a creator, or just someone who wants to do better, Prachi’s story will reframe everything you thought you knew—and leave you hopeful.What You’ll Walk Away With:- Impact Starts Small: A 10% change in your lifestyle can ripple across the world.- Reclaim Joy in Action: Climate work doesn’t have to be guilt-ridden—it can be fun, exciting, and deeply rewarding.- The True Face of Climate Change: It’s not about melting ice; it’s about people losing homes, education, and dignity.- Be Loud About Good: Don’t stay silent—your climate choices can inspire ten others.- Lazy is Lovely: Doing less can actually help save the planet. Seriously.🎙️ About the show: Hosted by Masoom Minawala, The Masoom Minawala Show brings honest, vulnerable conversations with changemakers, creators, and entrepreneurs.
