Severn Cullis-Suzuki, daughter of renowned Canadian scientist David Suzuki, developed a profound connection to nature early in life. In her lecture, she discusses her evolution as an environmentalist, emphasizing humanity's dangerous disconnection from the natural world that unequivocally sustains us.

Cullis-Suzuki argues that our collective arrogance and ignorance have pushed us to the brink of planetary disaster. She challenges individuals to confront their consumptive impact and explore ways to reduce their personal ecological footprint, urging a critical re-evaluation of our relationship with the planet.

David Wessel's book, "Only the Rich Can Play," exposes the 2017 Opportunity Zone tax break. Intended to aid underserved communities, this initiative, passed with little scrutiny, primarily benefited wealthy areas like the Las Vegas Strip, allowing investors to avoid capital gains taxes.

Wessel's analysis details the program's failures and limited successes, offering lessons for better design. Join David Wessel (@davidmwessel) and Lenny Mendonca for an in-depth discussion on this system, which Wessel argues keeps the rich richer. This event was presented by The Commonwealth Club of California.

David Meslin, a Community Catalyst, explores why more people don't engage in local politics, despite its direct impact on their lives through issues like schools, zoning, and elections.
