Disrupt Now Podcast, Ep. 27, Can We Achieve a Sustainable World?

With Guest, Deborah Stern

April 2, 2018

Today, we humans have to wonder, can we disrupt our lives enough to ensure that we do our part to achieve harmony and balance with our planet?

In Episode 27. we're exploring if we can really achieve a sustainable world. What does that really mean? This is a vision of our planet where humans live in nature in a way that meets human needs but does not degrade the Earth's natural systems.

As we move into a new millennium, if we can actually transition from a world of human devastation to instead focus on a period of being present to the planet in a mutually beneficial manner, then we could change the world all the faster!

Our guest, Deborah Stern, is Founder of 2020 Strategies and is a lover of Mother Earth, a pragmatic visionary, and a humanitarian. She is focused on achieving a sustainable world, with the first step being to leverage technologies we already have and make climate change the first thing that we focus on.

Connecting with Deborah, and a message from her:

The Great Work now, as we move into a new millennium, is to carry out the transition from a period of human devastation of the Earth to a period when humans would be present to the planet in a mutually beneficial manner... These were some of my favorite words from Thomas Berry.
