About this Episode

As we reach the end of EcoSveglia, the topics get a bit more complex. The 7th episode takes us through the problematic relationship between extractivism and the natural environment. For example, the principle guiding deforestation holds that nature is something to be taken, that nature can be used up and turned into money. Certainly, a destructive logic with a very high price. Tune in for a short reflection on this very important topic.
