Turning points in how we look at the environment

Program Title: Terra Informa - S09 E39 - Shifts
Description: We all have decisive moments when the decisions we make can shift the course of our lives. In some cases, the impact is felt for generations to come. Today we talk to some fairly ordinary people who found creative ways to shift the balance of power in favour of the environment. Toby Heaps tells us why he felt the world needed a magazine that focused not on corporate profits, but on corporate social responsibility. Tim DeChristopher recounts the day that he decided a controversial auction of oil and gas leases couldn’t go ahead, and how he stopped it. And Liane Lowe explains how watching a documentary shifted her outlook on the environment. Plus, we take a look back at some of the biggest shifts in environmental resistance throughout history. All that on today’s episode of Terra Informa!
