In this episode of Voices for the Animals, host Courtney Scott interviews Dr. Sailesh Rao, Founder and Executive Director of Climate Healers. Dr. Rao has a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University and has pioneered breakthrough inventions in the computer world. But when he was confronted with the harsh truth about global climate change, he was galvanized into action and gave up his career to pursue a way to fix this seemingly unfixable problem.
He discovered that no one in the environmental or science world was addressing the main cause of climate change, so he set out to break through the media blackout. He was Executive Producer on the 2014 film Cowspiracy, the Sustainability Secret, which airs on Netflix, and is author of the books Carbon Dharma and Carbon Yoga. And he has an upcoming film, The Compassion Project.
His solution is modeled after Gandhi's strategy to free India from British rule. It is a simple, effective and spiritually uplifting method that encourages reconnection to all beings. Dr. Rao is working to heal the climate for his grandchild and all children who otherwise are facing a bleak future. Tune in and find out how making a simple change in your lifestyle can dramatically alter the course of life on earth.
