For thousands of years, Indigenous cultures have understood that we and Earth are one. What happens to the planet happens to us, and there are natural limits to what we can take from it. COVID-19 has confronted us with those limits. Sixty per cent of all diseases that afflict humankind have leapt from other animals. The pandemic reminds us that it is a delusion to think we are separate from the natural world.
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 fourth episode explores the theme “Earth” and features conversations with renowned activist, author and farmer Winona LaDuke, financial journalist Attracta Mooney and the David Suzuki Foundation’s Melissa Mollen Dupuis.
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.
