Podcast Episode Summary
As we accelerate more and more quickly toward massive global change, one wonders if the culmination of this change will be a global breakdown or a global breakthrough? In this episode Anita Burke, former advisor to Shell International in the area of sustainable development, continues to share her vantage on global change, and also challenges us to begin looking beyond Conscious Business as an end-all solution in this rapidly changing atmosphere.
We explore the various solutions out on the table to help lead us to, not only surviving, but actually thriving as a global communiuty, including a move toward bio-regionalism, accelerating information technologies, and more conscious ways of doing business. In the end we conclude that it is going to take multiple solutions, and at this point it isn't really possible to predict which will be most important as we hurtle toward either a global breakdown or a global breakthrough.
This is part 2 of two-part series. Listen to Part 1, Changing the World - Is Conscious Business Enough?.
