This was recorded in 2009, it seems, in the contexts of the Wall Street Protests and the Arab Spring we have another opportunity to change in the direction Tony Juniper is talking about, are we going to?
The book reviewed here is worth a read re the above
He is attempting to bridge a very difficult gap, on the one hand working with the establishment and Prince Charles
(Since the interview the conservatives have gone back on their promises about cutting carbon)
He admits the problems involve changing our world view our collective culture and our economic model.
This is a way of saying that the logic of the 'free market' world view created and maintained and funded by corporate power (eg News International and Atlantic Bridge) that control our government is destroying us.
In a resurgence article in 2004 Juniper concludes are lives are being segmented into false oppositions.
Our community and ecological survival is currently in threatened by the cold logic of corporate power and capital, an abstract designed system disconnected from it's original social roots that continually attempts to segment our view of life into polar oppositions due to the reduction of life to the metric of capital.... we should acknowledge the prescribed technological solutions generated by this approach offer possibilities, but we all need space away from market driven technological prescription to explore in an unbiased/inclusive manner the inherent appreciative modes of perception we have, via for example random journeys and openness to natural layered textured surface, to rediscover nature's own subtle methods of communication... and benign intervention which can heal the seperations and wounds that are so often a byproduct of the ideology of technical progress, language. and capital.
