Humans are bad for the planet. Is there anything we can do about it?

And it's because of humanity's rapid growth. The loss of biodiversity will harm economies, food security, health and quality of life worldwide. Plus, ideastream's arts and culture team brings us a conversation about the Cleveland Indians in the 30s and 40s with the author of the book, "Bad Boys, Bad Times." Did you know the Indians then were nicknamed the "Cleveland Crybabies?"
