Happy Labour Day!  In Part 1 of our Labour Day Special, George Elliott Clarke  and Dave transcend time and space and discuss how Mother Nature has forcefully reminded us we are part of creation.   George and Dave explore the challenges of consumer capitalism and how the pandemy has lead to greater inequality. People are responding through a revival of Unionism.  George shares how people are generally smarter than their governments and most people want what's best for everybody.  Part 1 ends with a passionate performance of George's poem, King Bee Blues.  Next week in Part 2 George plays Poem Title in the form of a Pandemy Question, inspired by Nardwuar the Human Serviette in Vancouver, British Columbia.

They soon discovered that commitment would include major pitfalls, but it seems the more Patagonia doubles down on its values, the better it performs. In this episode, we hear from Craig Wilson, former lead strategist for consumer marketing at Patagonia; Bethany Patten, Senior Associate Director for MIT Sloan Sustainability Initiative, and Maya Spaull, Vice President of apparel and home goods at Fair Trade USA. We also speak with Andrew Kenney, a journalist who got insider access to see how Patagonia is redefining its business processes.
