The COVID-19 Pandemic is stretching the ways we need to think in so many ways, economically, socially, medically and spiritually. On this episode of Locus Focus we talk with Richard Heinberg, Senior Fellow with the Post Carbon Institute, about how the coronavirus pandemic provides both opportunities and challenges for creating a sustainable future, as it reminds us that we are vulnerable biological organisms in Earth’s web of life. In the face of disaster capitalist predators, how do we build a new culture and society that sustains life for everyone on the planet, human and non human alike.
