"Human Beings and the Natural World are on a collision course" With rapid, exponential growth and delays in our responses, we may overshoot the Earth's limits. There are limits in the world's sources of production and sinks for pollution, so we need to be vigilant in monitoring our growth and react quickly and efficiently if we go beyond our limits. If we overshoot too far or for too long, the world as we know it faces a near-certain collapse.  Adam Jones rates this in the top 5 books he's ever read. We skip some of the specifics and talk about the overarching theories. We also talk about what governments and organisations need to do to transition to sustainability, but also the 11 things you can do to save the planet. Enjoying the show?
