Episode notes
Connectivity and Disconnection
- Global warming's root cause is disconnection: between people, between people and nature, and within nature itself.
- Reconnecting these broken strands is key to regeneration and reversing the climate crisis.
The Power of Agency
- Agency, often overlooked, lies in our networks: family, community, workplace.
- Solutions are ubiquitous and local, requiring collective action through these networks, not individual or institutional fixes.
Extraction vs. Regeneration
- Current institutions are extractive, taking life and causing degeneration.
- Regeneration requires a 180-degree shift, aligning with nature to heal the future instead of stealing it.
