When the most valuable thing for the status quo is people’s apathy, having hope for a better future is radical.

Art commissioner Anne Beate Hovind manages the artwork Future Library by artist Katie Paterson in Norway, growing trees to print books a century from now. In Nature’s Last Dance: Tales of Wonder in an Age of Extinction, environmentalist Natalie Kyriacou collects stories to illuminate nature and advocate for its protection. Activist Jack Toohey provides the blueprint for social and political change in Better Things Are Possible.

Join Anne, Natalie and Jack, with host Ashley Hay, as they find hope and a path forward.
