11 Reasons to Be Hopeful about the Future (despite a lot of bad news about it)

A presentation by Paul Hanley, author of “ELEVEN” UN projections show the global population reaching 11 billion and the world economy growing by 500% by the end of this century. Can the planet accommodate 3.7 billion more people when our current ecological footprint already exceeds Earth’s biocapacity by 60%? Nominated for two 2015 Saskatchewan Book Awards, ELEVEN makes the case that a sustainable future will require an ethical revolution, one that will wholly transform humankind, reshaping its inner life and external conditions. This process will result in the emergence of a new culture, a new agriculture, and ultimately a new human race. Join us!
