COVID-19 has uprooted our lives, causing devastation for millions. It’s also forced us to slow down, pause and consider how we might learn to live healthily and sustainably on this planet.
Let’s use this time to rediscover some fundamental truths about our place on Earth: fire, air, water, earth — the basic elements of life — and spirit. Without them, there is no life. When our relationships with them are unbalanced, we put our very existence at risk.
In this podcast, David Suzuki explores how the pandemic can help us refocus on what’s most important, and what a green and just recovery from COVID-19 could look like.
Friends including Jane Fonda and Neil Young, as well as leading experts, join David as he returns to the fundamentals to help us seize this unique opportunity to rediscover our place on this beautiful living planet.Produced by the David Suzuki Foundation, in partnership with Jason Arkley Productions.

From anti-racism protests to wildfires, summer 2020 was marked by fire in the streets and the sky. Taming fire was an enormous step for our species, providing warmth, light, protection against animals, cooking and companionship. In fact, we even have fire in us, in every cell in our body. Perhaps that’s why we often refer to highly motivated people who call for change as having “fire in the belly.”

Safe, clean air is something many of us have long taken for granted. With new immediacy, we’re suddenly aware that everything — right down to the air we breathe — is shared by all life on Earth. Scientifically, there is no line between us and air. It is in us and flowing through our bodies. We are air.

Our bodies are more than 70 per cent water. The coronavirus also exists in water, carried in tiny droplets before it makes its way into our lungs. Without water, there would be no pandemic, but there would also be no us. Water makes life possible. Fresh water should be considered a priceless “rare Earth substance.” Instead, we pollute and waste it at astonishing rates. The world’s oceans, too, are at risk.

For thousands of years, Indigenous cultures have understood that we and Earth are one. What happens to the planet happens to us, and there are natural limits to what we can take from it. COVID-19 has confronted us with those limits. Sixty per cent of all diseases that afflict humankind have leapt from other animals. The pandemic reminds us that it is a delusion to think we are separate from the natural world.

We can make vast public investments in our shared well-being, and even change the way we live. But it takes the will to do it. We are the heart of the crisis, and the solution is in us.
