229: Carbon, Climate & Regeneration with Paul Hawken

229: Paul Hawken | On Carbon, Life, Climate & Regeneration 🌎

A single cell of carbon contains trillions of molecules, and its role in connecting all life is immeasurable. American environmentalist Paul Hawken decided to study indigenous languages to further explore the beauty of the most versatile element on the planet that animates the entirety of the living world. Joining Corinna Bellizzi, he talks about his book “Carbon: The Book of Life” and how it opened his eyes to the fact that regeneration is the singular key to humanity’s survival. He stresses the importance of embracing regenerative agricultural practices, nature-based solutions, and indigenous knowledge to ensure the planet’s longevity and sustainability. Paul also explains why he considers “we” as the most dangerous pronoun and how to rethink our daily choices in a world addicted to overconsumption.
