Rethinking Sustainability - a community project
That drew quite a few people who are keen to contribute episodes. The heart of Rethinking Sustainability is that it is a community project, bringing together many people and many voices. The idea of commnity activism is central to the book (please excuse the plug) that Mark Diesendorf and I wrote, The path to a Sustainable Civilisation.
Often when people talk about 'sustainability', they're referring to the environment, but it's far bigger than that because it encompasses a vast range of possible topics. Podcasts could also be on economics because - not suprisingly - this drives so much of our economies...and politics.
Crucially also, we should talk about society because ultimately, it's people who drive decision making. But also - and contrary to neoliberal thinking - we do not have a sustainable future without a sustainable society. Margaret Thatcher's line 'there is no such thing as society' is tragically and grotesquely misguided. There can be no such thing as an economy without a society.
If you would like to record a podcast episode, you'll find the details you need here.
We'll be launching the series in early 2024, stay tuned.
