More on the presentation:
We are experiencing the end of an era as a new era in human civilization is beginning. It is a time of great risk but also a time of great potential.
We now know that it is possible to restore large-scale damaged ecosystems. It is possible to sequester carbon and re-regulate the hydrological system. It is possible to restore natural fertility and to remove toxicity from contaminated soils and water.
We are required to do this so that future generations will live in peace and abundance. For humanity to further evolve it is necessary to transition from a society dedicated to consumption to a society dedicated to ecological function.
Although sometimes obscured by the collapse of the old order this heralds a time of full employment, equality, purpose and fulfillment.
This is THE GREAT WORK OF OUR TIME and we are called to understand and participate in it.
This presentation was recorded live at PV2 in March 2015.

This hippie cameraman is just wonderful. It takes people like him to show the way and simplify it in very gentle language, just like the earth.

Amazing! I was so tired today, felt no hope for humanity, there is so much shit and then I saw this and it gave me hope! I have seen his documentaries before, but it was great hearing him speak. Thank you.

He makes a strong case that the ecological function of the land and seas has been grossly undervalued, but to declare that trade is bad and war is inherent to capitalism will only slow implementing the valuable parts of his insight. There are many ways to look at the tragedy of the commons and many ways to reduce the damage. We shouldn't drive off allies by requiring adoption of his communal beliefs before making necessary changes.

This presentation makes too much sense. Some countries have started to revitalize themselves, their eco systems.....However...you need to teach this to the businessman. Those who really don't care about anything but a return on investment as quickly as possible an as much as possible. They don't care about what comes after they die.

OK! Wasn't going to wade in--because I adore what John Liu does. However, the "emerge in Paradise" and then the rest of the religious meandering got to me. Restoration of degraded lands and that educational process is Mr. Liu's area, he should stay away from what he does not know. I say this with the deepest respect!!
