The Way Forward For People And Our Planet
b'As Living on Earth celebrates 30 years on the air, we examine this decisive moment for the human species and our challenging relationship with our planet.\\xa0\\nWe meet people who envision a future reshaped by an emerging energy system and new power structures, as we wean off of fossil fuels.\\nNext we take a big-picture view of Earth as a complex and sustaining organism known as\\xa0Gaia. Over billions of years life has interacted with the elements of this planet in cycles of constant change and adaptation. With the help of deep ecologists, children, an astronaut and more, we survey our place on this ever-evolving living planet.\\nAnd while science and policy are vital in building a more sustainable world, they can\\u2019t convey the values we need as we strive for ecological harmony. Indigenous stories, holy scriptures, East Asian cosmologies, papal encyclicals and divine revelation all shed light on our duties and relationship to each other and to our common home.\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
