David Suzuki opened the Living Future unConference 2013 with a heart-felt talk which was both a reflection on the past and a call to action for the future. On the topic of environmental stewardship, he remarked on the difference in being raised in a culture which regards a mountain as a god versus one that regards it as a resource. He also explored the LF13 theme of resilience from the small to the large scale - resilience due to the diversity of cells in an organism, diversity in cultures in the human population, and the diversity of ecosystems on the planet. These themes wove through subsequent speeches by International Living Futures Institute CEO Jason McLellan and Paul Hawken, each with a unique narrative.
Here's a summary of where we are in our project right now:
