Episode notes

I don't think there's anything in the buddhist tradition that we can read off that tells us how to respond to the ecological crisis. A, but when we work together, then there 's certainly many more possibilities. And i don't know that there's any simple answer to that. I mean, individualy, we can only do so much in terms of reducing our own carbon footprint,. or working against the institutions that are also very problematical now.

The first guest on Emerge is author, philosopher and activist David Loy. David and I first met at the Occupy Boulder General Assembly and our relationship grew from there. David work sits at the intersection of contemplative wisdom and social justice, making him a perfect first guest for Emerge. In this episode we discuss the ways stories limit and liberate us, the symptoms of living in a world between stories, the nature of the (7+ billion) new stories, the difficulty of acting in integrity with what you know is true, and how to find the meaning of your life. Enjoy! NOTE: Please forgive the strange audio glitches in the interview. The content of this interview is still awesome. :)
