In this episode of the Plant-Based Canada Podcast we are joined again by Dr. Jenkins. Dr. Jenkins is moderating the University of Toronto’s ongoing Environmental Lecture Series called “Health and the Existential Threat of the Anthropocene”. The first part of the series aims to draw attention to the destructive force of the Anthropocene and its impact on species loss, climate change, human health, and planetary health… while the second series will explore answers to these problems.
Dr. Jenkins is joined by academics and leaders in journalism, advocacy, and beyond who offer unique perspectives… shedding light on the environmental and health consequences caused by the current rate of resource loss, overpopulation, overconsumption, and industrialization.
And the lectures are freely open to the public, so everyone can get involved.
