Our friend and colleague Martin Ogle returns to Arlington, Virginia, for an informal discussion on sustainability and sustainable living with local host, Nate Bynum.
Summary: This exploration of sustainability is based on an understanding of Earth
as a living system of which human beings are a seamless continuum.
Through this “lens,” our behavior and “cultural narrative” emerge as
central to the nature and ecology of our planet and to our ability to
consciously design sustainable ways of living. The interview integrates
energy, economics and other “usual suspects” in the sustainability
discussion with cultural ideas of meaning, limits and “what is enough.”
The term “Geo sapiens” – Earth-wise Human – is posited as a phrase to
help us think in these integrated ways.
