In addition to my occasional podcasting these days, I also listen to quite a few others. One podcast I subscribe to is Public Radio International’s show Living On Earth. Just recently I listened to a show that contained two very interesting segments The first segment was on 2010 wild weather everywhere around the globe. While we may be seeing snow and ice in abundance this winter, there is a more global trend of actual warming and you’ll hear why! Check out the link below to listen to or download the show:
The Wild Weather of 2010
The second segment should be listened to by everyone who believes economic growth must be sustained to keep our current lifestyles where they are and about the burden to the Earth our consumptions patterns are bringing to bear! Over the span of a lifetime, the world’s population has tripled and consumption has become a way of life. Japanese Canadian academic, science broadcaster, and environmental activist David Suzuki reflects on these changes in his new book “The Legacy: An Elder’s Vision for Our Sustainable Future”. He tells host Steve Curwood that the path to a sustainable future is to stop elevating economy over ecology and to start imagining a brighter future.
The Legacy
You can read the show transcripts at each link, stream the audio, or just download the show to your computer. They are both very worthwhile listens. You may agree or disagree, but you just might learn something.
