27. Regeneration: Putting Life at the Centre of Everything, with Paul Hawken
Manage episode 353647317 series 3359431
My guest this week is Paul Hawken, environmentalist, entrepreneur, activist and author of the bestselling books The Ecology of Commerce, Drawdown and Regeneration. In this episode, he talks about:
- Why sustainability has become a “weasel word” and limited practice that we may be better off avoiding altogether
- How regeneration is different to sustainability – and is necessary to move beyond an extractive economy
- Why climate change will never be “solved” unless we protect and restoring life (biodiversity and natural systems) on earth
- How regenerative agriculture shows a pathway from a destructive industrial model to a thriving system
- Why regeneration represents one of the biggest opportunities for creating purpose and meaning in people’s lives
