Nature Revisited

• Episode 146: Scott Stokoe - Reconciliation - An Ecocentric Path

  Scott Stokoe is a Vermont-based ecologist and educator who works with institutions to develop and expand their offerings in sustainability education through the creation of hands-on, applied learning. In this episode of Nature Revisited, Scott returns to discuss the looming climate crisis and how the solution lies not with identifying the problems we face nor in the way we communicate them, but in changing the very mental models culturally instilled in us - paradigms which fundamentally shape the way we view the natural world and our place within it.
