40: A New Narrative of Progress with Helena Norberg-Hodge Part 2 of 5
b'
Climate change has been in people\'s minds since Al Gore\\u2019s efforts to expose the truth with his documentary \\u201cAn Inconvenient Truth\\u201d from a little over a decade ago.
But what a lot of us don\'t know is that there are larger forces with far greater impact than us individuals. Corporations produce so much waste that even the great former U.S vice president had failed to address or even acknowledge it.
Listen in this second part of a five-episode special with Helena Hodge as we uncover these larger forces and how the lack of acknowledgment and even awareness has bred the dominant narrative that it is us or human nature to blame for our world\\u2019s deteriorating state.
In this Episode, We Discuss:

- How economies have been dependent on big business to the extent that big corporations have the power to influence a nation\'s trade policies
- How we can move on from self blame for this global crisis
- The bigger things we can do other than planting trees to save our planet
