Description
What can thousand-year-old trees teach us about living sustainably? If we want to be sustained by this planet indefinitely, we need to stop trying to suck it dry.Doug Larson is an award winning scientist, author, and Professor Emeritus of Biology at the University of Guelph. He is an expert on deforestation and regularly contributes to The Guardian and other publications. His books include Cliff Ecology: Pattern and Process in Cliff Ecosystems, The Urban Cliff Revolution: New Findings on the Origins and Evolution of Human Habitats, Storyteller Guitar, and The Dogma At My Homework.“I think one thing I learned from looking at the ancient trees is that there is no great benefit to anything of growing quickly and accumulating vast resources. Growing slowly and patiently and with fewer demands on the environment in which you live is just as healthy and perhaps more healthy than the endless hunger for more and more and more, which we see as a characteristic of our species.”https://experts.uoguelph.ca/doug-larson https://volumesdirect.com/products/the-dogma-ate-my-homework https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/cliff-ecology/7502E52B487789BEA2CACC4553AA663Bhttps://www.amazon.com/Urban-Cliff-Revolution-Evolution-Habitats/dp/1550419927 https://www.amazon.com/Storyteller-Guitar-Doug-Larson-ebook/dp/B00B9VZQXUwww.creativeprocess.info www.oneplanetpodcast.org IG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcastImage courtesy of Doug Larson
