Listen here:
Author, radio host, and scientist David Suzuki has spent a lifetime working to protect the environment. But a generation later, he says activists like him have failed to shift the paradigm; more is needed to protect
the health of our species and our planet. On this edition, David Suzuki says we need to stop fighting, and use the laws of nature as a starting point for moving forward.
David Suzuki’s speech was excerpted from a presentation by The LannAn Foundation.

Thank you! Thank you! Informational and inspiring presentation.
I am listening on KEXP Mind over Matters. David Zuzuki makes absolute sense in shifting our view of this exquisite world that supports our lives. As an elder, I have witnessed a continued loss of ethics, respect and responsibility towards the balance in nature on earth. We must continue to speak up our governments, agencies and corporations and indeed, put the eco back into economics.
