Show Notes
Lyla June, musician, anthropologist, and activist, introduces us to the Seven Generations New Deal and how applying this has the potential to create “what could possibly go right”. Her interview insights included:
- That it’s hard to imagine what the world could be like, when we're so busy fighting what it's like.
- That economy is inseparable from ecology; you can destroy ecology to help the economy for only a short time, before your whole house of cards collapses.
- That the systems and conceptual frameworks that got us into this climate crisis will not get us out of it.
- The value of respecting indigenous science and looking to those societies with a proven track record of sustainability for solutions.
- That considering the inequity of who will have to pay for others’ climate mistakes, this reframing shifts emissions reduction from a scientific option to an ethical obligation.
- The importance of climate education and that everyone deserves to be informed from a multicultural perspective, not just the Eurocentric view.
- That we need visionary, forward thinking voices that push lawmakers to think completely differently.
