00:00The climate crisis is also a consumption problem and that is why tonight's conversation feels so
00:07important. I know that you've been speaking at Oxford, Cambridge, you've got in Parliament as
00:14well and I just wanted to thank you for being in London. Welcome to London Climate Action Week
00:19and I'd like to begin with perhaps a very simple question. How are you and how has your day been?
00:26It's easier for me to answer how is the world because there is just so much of that. People,
00:34places, the temperature, there is just so much happening out there. So that's something I can
00:41more easily answer. How am I? There's not much in there to look into or take care of. So I'm
00:48always
00:49taken a little aback whenever faced with this question because the question posits that there
00:55is some object and some activity within. There is not too much of that. Obviously there is something
01:02or the other always happening within but not too much so I don't know. But yes for sure there is
01:07a
01:07lot that is happening in the world that must concern us and the climate problem as you very rightly said
01:15is a relationship problem. When we say it pertains to consumption, you said the way people consume,
01:21it's a relationship problem. It's a relationship problem, relationship between the object of consumption
01:26out there and the consumer, the clamoring consumer sitting in here. That's something we must go into.
