“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

I have just listened to it and it's very good. Thank you. You have a clear way of putting things, and your guests were also great. The more people who can hear a less threatening, less blaming, broader invitation to understand, grieve and take on the reality of the climate and extinction crisis the better. The more voices, the more people will hear. As an old school environmental activist I can agree with George Monbiot that I am so tired and so relieved that young people have snatched the baton from our hands. May they run with it, and achieve change. (As an aside I have also seen Port Arthur, and lived with someone who worked for the Houston-based oil industry. But we do now have solar panels)
