Someone suggested we do daytime documentary screenings, so I thought this would be a great opportunity to watch this powerful one-hour video of Dr David Suzuki. Interviewed by Australian entrepreneur and business strategist Kerwin Rae, Suzuki talks about climate change and the need to move beyond business as usual. The environmentalist, activist, professor of genetics and science broadcaster hits us with some hard truths about what our future will look like if we continue to live the way we have been.

  • What will life be like for our children and grandchildren?
  • Can the damage we’ve done to the planet be reversed?
  • Is extinction of the human race imminent?

This video was a tipping point for me. First, I really admire and respect Dr David Suzuki. Second, he does a fantastic job of explaining things. Third, he doesn’t hold back. And for all of us business people out there, this discussion is EXTREMELY important. This is not a feel good video but it is worth every minute. Be prepared to be shaken enough to be forced to take action.
