Topic
This webinar tackles a question that many environmentalists fail to answer. Bruce Baigrie explores how the environment, despite its protections and despite its value to humanity, continues to be systematically destroyed. He will focus on the reasons why this is happening and how it has become difficult to stop. Bruce engages this question by looking at the current economic system and how capitalism has influenced and perpetuated the current crisis. He challenges a move from capitalism to halt the ecological and climate crises.
