Description

This global system is broken. We exploit nature and more vulnerable people. We allow a select few to secure wealth and power. Our destruction of the environment fuels climate change and disease outbreaks like COVID-19. What can we do? Give up, throw up our hands? How can we fight this broken system and ensure that we can somehow reduce the impact of the climate crisis? Find out some ideas how here: Sustainability & This Broken System We’re In: Interview with Brad Zarnett. With Study Guide! On Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, etc. https://multi-hazards.libsyn.com/sustainability-this-broken-system-were-in-interview-with-brad-zarnett Brad Zarnett Bio Brad Zarnett is Canadian sustainability strategist, writer and blogger. He is the President of the Toronto Sustainability Speaker Series (TSSS) which was founded in 2008 to showcase sustainability leadership and has since hosted more than 40 events. After 12 years of consulting and promoting leadership in Corporate Sustainability Brad began to realize that the promise of a more sustainable world was not being delivered. He decided to take a closer look, and what he saw was disturbing. Brad’s current focus is to broaden the conversation as to why Corporate Sustainability (CSR), Impact Investing and Profit with Purpose has failed to live up to its promise and more importantly, what is the best path forward to ensure that we are able to pass along a functioning planet to our children. Brad has a Masters in Environmental Studies from York University in Toronto and you can follow him on twitter @bradzarnett or on Medium where he has been recognized as a top contributor in the Climate Change category, LinkedIn or by joining his email list.
