The Fight Against Greed: Vandana Shiva and Earth Democracy
Manage episode 320361821 series 2909758
The 1% are destroying the Earth and convincing us it's good for us. And Vandana Shiva has an answer: "Not on our watch." We speak to the globally respected and award-winning activist, author, scientist, speaker, and protector of life about the crucial crossroads we are standing at in 2022. Vandana teaches us how to see through the false narratives of the 1% so that corporate influence no longer controls us. By harnessing the power of community, diversity, solidarity, and creative vision we can build a global movement to protect the rights of all living beings and the Earth. A new paradigm of an Earth democracy where people and planet thrive together for generations to come.

CHALLENGE: Dig deeper into the story and ideas of a leader you are inspired by. Read their books, get to know them beyond the soundbites we all hear in history books or the media. Think about how their ideas are relevant for your life and how you might take action that aligns with those ideas.
TAKEAWAYS: 1: Colonization still continues on a global scale. Will we allow it? 2: We are standing at a crossroads which won't last much longer. It's time to choose the world we want and build it. 3: There is a solution. It's time to evolve political democracy into an Earth democracy, where the rights of all life are respected and protected.
