Sustainable Futures

This article is part of a series

I recently did an in-depth interview in Vancouver for Sustainable Futures with Ryan Fletcher. This two-part episode features stories of my travels framed in the context of creating a sustainable future and the rise of a global consciousness. I postulate some theories I discovered during my long hours of meditation-bicycling, and even goofy opinions about such things as why bicycles are bad for the environment and the depletion of oxygen in our atmosphere.

Episode 34. My segment begins at approximately minute 28:00

How long before the Earth runs out of oxygen?

Have you ever wondered how much breathable air is on Earth, and if we'll ever run out? Our atmosphere is paper-thin relative to a basketball, and we use its oxygen to power internal combustion engines, create electricity, and manufacture products (cement, chemicals, plastic). Worse, we are destroying the plants that make more breathable oxygen.
