for the longest time in history men have made most of the political and economic decisions is that a correlation between these decisions and the state to follow world and the environment that's the question more long. as there is there weiss's for better policies on environmental protection one distinct is that of me will make light. we're going to lose wonders of this world natural wonders and human made wonders you know whether it's the great barrier reef or venice. i think every human on this planet on some level is aware that our home is in crisis. we all need to understand what our particular strengths are and
9:47 am
apply those to this project of transformation. i think we have an economic system. that defines success progress health as and less economic growth and much of that growth is connected to an ideology of endless consumption. and that is the the fairy tale as gratitude says that is incompatible with what our planet can take and so we need a different economic paradigm. in that moment that the climate crisis becomes

9:50 am
expiration if these companies continue with their intransigence should be part of the conversation we have. if you think about what hollywood has given asks almost every vision of the future that we get is some version of ecological collapse plus social collapse we need other visions of who we might be where we don't actually turn on each other where we do actually respond to this crisis. inequalities in societies or with the world. the richer you walk the less so you feel the effects of climate change but more than most people realize this divide and accept the responsibility that comes with threats and then we are the doctor
