What Does “Good” Look Like? A New Model for Human and Ecological Health
Climate change, food and water security crises, declines in human and ecological health, and loss of biodiversity and habitats are all serious symptoms caused and intensified by the lifestyles we lead in the West–lifestyles that set a standard for the rest of the world. Many of us are focused on addressing these symptoms, which is important in the short run; but, it is more important in the long run that we address the cause, which is the way we live. Being less bad is not good enough anymore. Follow the journey of Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens in search of a regenerative way to build and
operate. Learn how this public garden seeks to create a new model for living that improves the health of people and the planet.
