Embracing Diversity for Environmental Change

Jessica talks with Bomgiizhik (Isaac Murdoch) of Serpent River First Nation about putting aside the temptation to fight one another in the climate movement and negative feelings, so we can win the bigger battles we need to win. They discuss the urgent need for action and systemic change, the power of positivity, the beautiful responsibility we have to nature, and building a movement. It's a podcast about how to be radical, but by building that radicality on a foundation of love and fighting for things that are beautiful. They also talk about the continuing impact of residential schools and systemic racism, how we need both the spiritual and the political, and protecting the Great Lakes from the aging and dangerous Enbridge Line 5 oil pipeline.

In the Q&A, Communications Officer Taylor Farrugia, answers your question: Why am I not seeing huge government investments in tree planting?
