Dr. Peter Victor, Professor and past-Dean of Environmental Studies at York University, argues that economic growth, the primary global policy objective, is unsustainable. Its long-term viability is increasingly questioned due to environmental impacts, resource scarcity, and its failure to significantly improve happiness, eliminate poverty, or create full employment.

A simulation model of the Canadian economy demonstrates that full employment, poverty eradication, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and fiscal balance are achievable without economic growth. Victor advocates shifting focus from growth to specific objectives directly related to human and planetary well-being.

Offshore drilling, a cornerstone of the global oil and gas industry, poses significant risks. This dangerous business threatens fragile ecosystems, marine wildlife, and coastlines with catastrophic oil spills.

Oceana Marine Scientist Maeve Arthur's video examines five of the worst U.S. offshore oil spills, detailing their environmental, economic, and human health consequences. She emphasizes that such disasters will persist as long as we rely on toxic fossil fuels.

Join host Jeff Corwin as he connects with some of the most threatened aquatic animals, including Florida's gentle manatees, the endangered Kemp's Ridley sea turtle, and coral reefs. He highlights critical threats to manatees, such as habitat loss, cold snaps, and harmful algae blooms, which have led to record mortalities. Conservationists are racing to save these iconic creatures.

Efforts include restoring warm water habitats, advocating for dam removal to open vital waterways like the Ocklawaha River, and coordinating rescue and rehabilitation partnerships, exemplified by SeaWorld's work with rescued manatees like Avana. Protecting these watery worlds is essential for the planet's health.
