I’ve been burning up my extra hours lately at BPTV, a web site that streams short video clips of leading thinkers and activists in sustainability. This is a really useful site, in that it presents a highly distilled version of truly complex ideas. You get the jist of what these folks are thinking in something like six minutes.
There are 50 speakers on the site at the moment, and I’m honored to tell you that I’m now one of them. The BPTV film crew spent some time with me in front of the beautiful Andy Goldsworthy sculpture on the Stanford Campus, and the edited version was posted to the site on October 18th. You can go directly to my presentation by clicking here, and I’ll list a few of my other recent favorite listening experiences as well. The link to the BPTV homepage is here, or visit the other speakers described below:
- Frank Dixon, Managing Director of Research & Development at Innovest Strategic Value Advisors, New York discusses the relationship between environmental performance and shareholder value.
- Amy Domini, Founder and CEO of Domini Social Investments offers a very interesting contrast to Frank Dixon.
- Dr. Karl-Henrik Robèrt, is one of the world’s foremost sustainability experts and founder of The Natural Step in Sweden, describes this most useful framework for understanding the fancy ‘S’ word.
- Robert Thurman, Director of Tibet House in New York City, and a close personal friend of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama offers a really interesting critique of ’scientism’.
BPTV is free and most clips are have the corresponding transcripts and interesting links available.
