Key Blindspots of the “Walrus” Movement

This week’s Frankly (#105) by Nate Hagens is particularly worth listening to. It is entitled “Key Blindspots of the Walrus Movement”. The “Walrus Movement” is Nate’s term for well-intentioned champions of morally sound social and ecological goals who, however, do not take the biophysical limits and energetic realities of the planet into account.

And how do we ground ourselves in biophysical truths while envisioning a system that better serves the planet and its people?
