From anti-racism protests to wildfires, summer 2020 was marked by fire in the streets and the sky. Taming fire was an enormous step for our species, providing warmth, light, protection against animals, cooking and companionship. In fact, we even have fire in us, in every cell in our body. Perhaps that’s why we often refer to highly motivated people who call for change as having “fire in the belly.” 

In Season 1 of The David Suzuki Podcast, “COVID-19 and the Basic Elements of Life,” David and guests explore how the pandemic can help us refocus on what’s most important, and what a green and just recovery from COVID-19 could look like. They return to the fundamentals to help us seize this unique opportunity to rediscover our place on this beautiful living planet. 

The season’s first episode explores the theme “Fire” and features conversations with legendary actor, activist and author Jane Fonda, the David Suzuki Foundation’s Sherry Yano and the University of Winnipeg’s Ian Mauro. 

You can help make sure we seize this unprecedented opportunity to build back a better world by urging Ottawa to advance a green and just recovery from COVID-19. Visit davidsuzuki.org/green-and-just-recovery/ Produced by the David Suzuki Foundation, in partnership with Jason Arkley Productions.
