Matthieu Ricard, a Buddhist monk and public thinker, advocates cultivating altruistic love and compassion to address key challenges: short-term economic stability, mid-term life satisfaction, and long-term environmental sustainability. His radical yet simple message has influenced economists like Amartya Sen and Joseph Stiglitz, and he has shared it at Davos and the United Nations.

Ricard asserts this ancient wisdom benefits both society and individuals. Despite its simplicity, the text questions why implementing this solution to our 21st-century predicaments proves so challenging.

Building materials contribute an estimated 5 to 15 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. Imagine using materials that not only require less carbon to produce but also actively capture and store it. In California, architect Dylan Johnson and Yvon Chouinard, alongside a seasoned crew, constructed two houses using straw bales that would otherwise have gone to waste.

This innovative project demonstrates that natural building isn’t just better for the climate—it’s a superior way to build. Watch "Home, Grown" to learn more.

Wildfires are distressing, yet a biocentric perspective reveals they are primarily climate-driven, not fuel-driven. This means landscape-scale forest thinning and prescribed burns are largely ineffective at reducing fire spread or intensity, a view supported by experts like George Wuerthner.

Fires are often used as an excuse for logging, whether for "fuels management" or "salvage." However, burned forests are vital carbon sinks and biodiverse habitats that should be allowed to recover naturally, as logging is detrimental.

The national uprising following George Floyd's murder has underscored systemic racism and its impact on environmentalism, where communities of color face disproportionate climate burdens yet are often excluded from solutions. Join us for a vital conversation on amplifying leaders of color in climate action and building an inclusive, anti-racist green movement.
