Sustainable Future (Planet Earth)

Author of the Governor General's Award-nominated The Geography of Hope: A Tour of the World We Need, Chris talks about How to Breathe Underwater: Field Reports from an Age of Radical Change - Essays and Reportage, on subjects ranging from The Simpsons to the multimedia super-corridor of Malaysia, from Pepsi's failed breakfast beverages to climate crisis seen through scuba goggles, from dotcom bubbles to the Great Bear Rainforest, and invites us to meet the challenges of a sustainable future - political, ecological, economic, and cultural - and build hopeful global foundations for a sustainable future.
