Listen up: “It’s pretty intoxicating to think that you can change the world.” In this podcast, Severn Cullis-Suzuki talks about the importance of youthful idealism – and issues a generational challenge to baby-boomers, and her famous dad describes how Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring shaped his career path. In the next episode, Elizabeth May and Tzeporah Berman talk about the women who energize their own environmentalism.
From the vault: The Power List distills key – and sometimes controversial – lessons from Paulo Friere, Cesar Chavez, the anti-apartheid movement and other important figures and moments in history.
