My interview with the brilliant climate scientist and communicator Dr. Phoebe Barnard. I had the pleasure of meeting her recently.
Phoebe champions amongst many things hashtag#bioregionalism. She lives in the Skagit valley – the heart of hashtag#Cascadia – in the hashtag#PacificNorthwest (PNW).
With her vision that is “#regenerative, #collaborative, and #nourishing” she hopes to overcome “the disturbing human supremacy, and cultural arrogance, which also devalues and commodifies both our relationships with #Nature and each other”.
Surely we can learn better from our horrendous mistakes of the last two centuries of western individualism, extraction, profiteering, domination, and entitlement, she says.
The road ahead is short and steep, the odds are long, and the vested interests have sharp teeth and claws. All we need is “a #spiritual and #values change, which will enable economic, social-cultural and political change” believes Phoebe.
