Pullback

Kristen and Kyla are joined by activist and friend of the pod Robert Miller to discuss two very different films: Planet of the Humans (we watched it so you wouldn't have to) and 2040 (Kyla's new favourite documentary)! You are encouraged to watch 2040, but Planet of the Humans isn't even worth hate-watching. Topics: climate denial tactics in action; what to do if you liked Planet of the Humans (it's OK to have a change of heart); all of the cool technologies explored in 2040; is it OK to love a film full of dad jokes? (yes).

Kyla is joined by Terence Hamilton, domestic policy specialist focusing on child rights, health equality, and social justice with UNICEF Canada, or the United Nations Children’s Fund. UNICEF was established after world war 2 and works for child rights and well being. UNICEF helps children through natural disasters and humanitarian crises, and works to build global health and welfare systems that provide essential services, education, and safe environments for children and their families. Terence tells Kyla about the Innocenti Report Card 17, which focuses on the following questions: How do environmental factors affect children’s well-being? How are many of the world’s richest countries faring in terms of providing a healthy environment in which children can live, develop and thrive? What actions can these countries take to improve the environments in which children live? There’s a focus on Canada’s place in the report card, though Kyla urges everyone to read the general report as well.

Kristen and Kyla are joined by Megan Linton, host of Invisible Institutions, to discuss the book “Doughnut Economics: 7 Ways To Think Like a 21st-Century Economist” by Kate Raworth. The book focuses on seven ways in which mainstream economics has failed humanity and paints a picture of a world where a just society lives within the means of our planet - and that picture looks like a doughnut!
