Program Description: Do you dare to hear the chilling truth about the ecological state of the world today-massive species extinction, overpopulation and the wasting of resources? It's easier to hear when it comes from someone as learned and concerned as David Suzuki. With scientific detail and political awareness he points to major problems-but also to ways you can begin to effectively address them, and why it is so important to do this. "There are some things that maintain life on Earth that are beyond any kind of economic assessment," says Suzuki, "and surely those are the things that ought to be protected at all costs, because they are sacred." He reminds us what matters most in life, and how to live accordingly. Included in DEEP ECOLOGY FOR THE 21ST CENTURY 1 hour
