So, what kinds of choices lead us to this state, and what can we do to fight fatigue? Explore the psychology of decision fatigue and ways you can avoid fatigue. Directed by Jolene Tan.

    What would happen if all people stopped eating meat tomorrow? - Carolyn Beans

    Explore the possibilities and challenges of what a vegetarian world could look like if we all immediately stopped eating meat. -- Imagine if a wizard of meatless dining suddenly appeared on Earth and with one wave of a wand wiped away all meat from our shelves— along with any desire to eat it. Farm animals destined for food vanish, whisked away to another planet. What happens in the following days, years, and even millennia? Carolyn Beans explores what a vegetarian world could look like. Lesson by Carolyn Beans, directed by Mitchelle Tamariz.
