Tim Flannery on 'Here on Earth: an Argument for Hope'

Listen to a great interview with Tim Flannery about his new book Here on Earth: An Argument For Hope. He talks about climate change, complexity and processes (traced through Darwin, Dawkins, Lovelock & Wallace).
A quote from the interview:
"...we think of ourselves as objects or things but we are really processes. When we die, the processes stop. The object, the body is the same from one second before death and one second after, but the processes have stopped....we are fragments of the earth's crust animated by processes"

This installation represents one SECOND'S worth of water consumption from plastic bottles in the US!
