Episode 5 - Regenerative Culture, Joanna Macy




Extinction Rebellion Podcast show

Summary: In this episode, the Extinction Rebellion Podcast explores regenerative culture. What is it, and how can it be of use to rebels worldwide? Joanna Macy, PhD is a teacher and writer on issues of environmental justice, Deep Ecology, and Buddhist practice, as well as the root teacher of the Work that Reconnects. An anthology on the impact of her work around the world will appear in April under the titleĀ "A Wild Love for the World: Joanna Macy and the Work of our Time". Extinction Rebellion has three demands. 1) Tell the Truth - Government must tell the truth by declaring a climate and ecological emergency, working with other institutions to communicate the urgency for change. 2) Act Now - Government must act now to halt biodiversity loss and reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2025. 3) Beyond Politics - Government must create and be led by the decision of a Citizens' Assembly on climate and ecological justice.
