The past, present, and future of humanity’s treatment of the natural environment collide in this discussion between Ed Conway, who, in Material World: A Substantial Story of Our Past and Future, explores the role sand, salt, oil, copper, water, and lithium have played in human development, with BBC Chief Economics Correspondent Dharshini David, whose Environomics reveals the changes the green economy is already making to the planet. Chaired by Brian Taylor.
