Listen to a very coherent environmental statement on the ‘critical factors’ of what is happening on planet earth today, and what is at stake.
If you are a deep ecologist, a committed permaculture adherent, or a staunch environmental activist, you already understand the enormity of what is happening. However, for mainstream society, this crucial interview fills in the vital gaps.
Our ‘global commons’ is under assault from our industrial and farming practices. The ‘global commons’ is that which is not owned by people, corporations or governments. For example the atmospheric envelope that surrounds our planet and the global seas and oceans are free for the human species to use.
Subjects covered:
Magnitude and speed of change, and that politicians don't understand what the environment is. That most of our corporate leaders don't get it either. Plus what is the steady-state economy?
That a new paradigm of ethics needs to be entered into and that shifting values away from accumulated material things (to a lesser degree) would be a very prudent action.
The priority for learning institutions is to teach new skills of what is happening, in particular leadership skills being an imperative.
Also, how do people become AWARE of what is happening and what is then required?
This insightful interview is a call for unity of peoples and purpose from the local to the global. And the important question, do we have reverence for nature as well as reverence for ourselves?
In a commercial world that sells us distractions at a discount, how long can we avoid the obvious and deny the inevitable when so much is at stake?
Will Crew Members of Spaceship Earth awaken to this mission in time to bring our Ship and Crew safely through?
This is an interview for those who are courageous and bold.

Why are governments and media so quiet about this?
