When we consider what becomes of the things we once owned, it might give us fresh perspective on our daily planetary impact, as well as what will be left behind when we’re gone.

Summary

Teddy bears from childhood, life off the grid and organizing our “estate” before we die. In this wide-reaching conversation, Judy Dolmatch reflects on acquisition and disposition, staying connect with her late mother through a shared appreciation of art, and how living in a permaculture community deepened her appreciation for ecological systems. Her interest in cultural attitudes about death led to further reflections on  what becomes of possessions when we leave the planet.
