Environmental protection agencies, created to regulate polluting industries, have been compromised. These bodies, meant to safeguard our environment, have been "hijacked" by the very industries they were designed to oversee.

Legal scholar Mary Christina Wood tells Bill Moyers that our judicial system, along with future generations, may ultimately be our best hope. She suggests they will save us from ourselves.

Fritjof Capra: Patterns of Connection

Join us for a virtual conversation with Fritjof Capra to discuss the evolution of his thought. In the late 1950s Capra read the work of Werner Heisenberg, a founder of quantum mechanics, and quickly intuited connections between the discoveries of quantum physics and the traditions of Eastern philosophy. The result was his bestselling book, The Tao of Physics. His synthesis, which dispensed with the mechanistic worldview of Descartes and Newton in favor of a systemic, ecological one, has provided him with a different perspective on the life sciences, ecology and environmental policy.

Six decades later, Fritjof Capra remains at the crossroads of physics, spirituality, environmentalism and systems theory. Organized thematically and chronologically, the essays in Patterns of Connection document his revolutionary and far-reaching intellectual journey.

Robin Wall Kimmerer emphasizes the transformative power of stories to shift our worldview. She suggests living "as if the world is a gift for which I need to be grateful, for which I need to reciprocate, for whom I am accountable," believing that a changed narrative can align our behaviors with nature.

Kimmerer joins AskNature to discuss cultural biomimicry, blending Western science with traditional ecological knowledge to navigate climate uncertainty. She also champions Plant Baby Plant, a grassroots movement encouraging people to "Raise a garden, and raise a ruckus!" Discover more at plantbabyplant.com.
