PART 3: ENERGY SECURITY – THE GROWTH OF SOFT ENERGY SYSTEMS
The recent energy "crisis" in California triggered the worst
reflexes of many business and political leaders, who clamored for more
fossil fuel power plants and fewer environmental limits. With the
September 11th attacks has come the increased recognition that how we
make and distribute energy is nearly impossible to protect. The Rocky
Mountain Institute’s Hunter Lovins and renewable energy expert David Katz examine how these challenges present opportunities for dramatic shifts in energy production.
PART 4: LIGHT AT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD – REINVENTING THE POETRY OF DIVERSITY
Author/ethnobotanist/anthropologist, Wade Davis,
has been from Borneo to Tibet to Haiti, from the high Arctic to the
Andes and Amazon as an explorer of our planet’s wondrous cultural and
biological diversity. He has found a fire burning over the Earth,
taking with it plants and animals, cultures, languages, ancient skills
and visionary wisdom. Quelling this flame and reinventing the poetry of
diversity is the most important challenge of our times.
