Tuesday, April 19, 9 am – 10 am PDT: Practicing Green Compassion: Can We Re-Green the World in One Generation? with Marc Barasch
“A compassionate civilization is not a utopian fantasy; it’s an evolutionary imperative.” Marc Barasch, Green World’s founder says that environmental activism and sustainability is not enough; we have to implement holistic solutions for regeneration that aren’t competitive but include everybody and treat people and planet as an inseparable unity. From here on, it’s going to mean survival not of the fittest but of the kindest. Come and explore with Marc, how to re-green the world.

Marc’s newly founded Green World Ventures is mobilizing hundreds of thousands of farmers in Nigeria to farm superfood moringa trees using eco-agriculture to restore the economy and ecology of some of the world’s poorest places.
