In the mid-1990s, UN experts told Sadhguru that 60% of Tamil Nadu — one of India's richest agricultural states, with 12,000 years of farming history — would become desert by 2025. He drove across the state and saw it was already worse than predicted: three major rivers had gone dry, dozens of tributaries were empty, people had built homes on riverbeds, coastal villages were abandoned due to saltwater intrusion. He calculated that planting 114 million trees over six years would restore 33% green cover. To make villagers care, he used an embodied rather than intellectual approach: he made them sit in full sun for nearly two hours, then walked them under massive rain trees. The visceral relief — 'fresh life comes into you' — opened what argument never could. He then led a meditative process where they experienced exhaling carbon dioxide that the tree inhaled, and inhaling oxygen the tree exhaled. After that, he says, you cannot stop them from planting. He planted over 6 million trees in 3.5 days and describes how temperatures around the restored hill are now at minimum 4 degrees cooler than the surrounding city.
A hill stripped bare by an illegal furniture industry radiated heat in summer. Sadhguru took 4,500 volunteers, gave them two meals a day and one song, and planted over 6 million trees in 3.5 days. Twenty-seven years later, temperatures around the area are at minimum 4 degrees cooler than the surrounding city.

At a childhood sleepover, Bobby Lee's friends drew penises on his face and he walked 7 miles home on a dirt road before being picked up by Eric Purvis's mom.
In 1950, about 60% of the world lived in extreme poverty; today it's about 1 in 10, attributable to capitalist economic growth.
From 2021 to 2024, 6 million children fell below the poverty line in the US after the expanded child tax credit expired.
Private domestic infant and international adoptions typically cost $40,000 to $70,000, while foster care adoption is the most affordable route at $0 to $2,000.
Historically, only 40% of men have ever reproduced — Galloway uses this to argue that romantic success requires effort, not a hall pass.
Robby Hoffman is the 7th of 10 children raised in a Hasidic household in Montreal, where the family was poor and comedy was a survival mechanism.
Robby's Hasidic community had no concept of 'too soon' in comedy — if it was funny, you threw it, and if you bombed, your sibling told you immediately.
