Satish Kumar, a long-term peace and environmental activist, joins us in this talk with his characteristic humour and warmth to discuss the most urgent challenge for young people today - namely, what kind of world we are going to face in a matter of years. He discusses the role of the highly educated in environmental destruction and the ways in which our systems of higher education have failed to provide us with the values or vision that will help us protect our planet. He urges young graduates to, in fact, not look for a job and to not be lured in by the multinationals, governments, and big corporations - most of which are instrumental in causing huge environmental damage. Instead he encourages us to create our own jobs which are environmentally sustainable and will work towards protecting our planet.
