From Fashion to Regeneration and Re-Indigenization

In this episode, I interview Kamea Chayne, the host of the GreenDreamer podcast. Kamea is an eco-activist, author and podcaster who’s released no less than 260 episodes since May 2018. Greendreamer is the closest thing I have found to FutureSeeds. The topics she explores range from climate balance, circular economy, and social justice, all the way to conscious lifestyle, holistic wellness and self-growth. Through her interviews, Kamea has accumulated tons of knowledge. In this conversation, her and I discuss the roots of our systemic issues and the waves of change taking place in the world at the moment.

The untold truth about our social and ecological collapse

Many talk about climate change, but rare are those who dare to speak about its systemic root cause. In this interview, Helena Norberg-Hodge, respected environmentalist and winner of the Goi Peace Award and Right Livelihood Award, describes the economical culture that has been destroying our planet and communities for decades, and today threatens our very own survival. She also offers an alternative supported by decades of collecting evidence and ground studies, a path which she now calls localization.

A sustainable World by 2040

Aren’t movies about the future always gloomy and dark? “2040” isn’t one of them. “2040” is a movie created by award-winning film director Damon Gameau to broadcast a different story, a different narrative about the Future. He and a researcher interviewed a hundred different academics, researchers and scientists, to collect hundreds of different solutions to the world’s problems, and then traveled to 15 different countries to film these solutions.
