"Natural Magic" is a new one-hour special from Bioneers Radio that explores the time-tested processes, relationships and recipes that have allowed life to flourish during 3.8 billion years of evolution. Our guides are scientific and social innovators known as “the bioneers.”
Luminaries featured include: globally renowned biologist and educator David Suzuki, best-selling author and environmental entrepreneur Paul Hawken, biomimicry master Janine Benyus, clean energy expert Amory Lovins and author and climate leader Bill Mckibben.
They say the solutions to
our environmental challenges are largely present –
if we just ask nature. They
herald a revolution from the heart of nature –
and the human heart.

What life does is create conditions conducive to
life. Scientists call it the “Gaia hypothesis”—the idea that the entire
symphony of living things self-regulates the Earth’s conditions to make the
physical environment hospitable for them, just as our bodies know how to
regulate themselves. Yet at this critical moment, for the first time in
history, humanity has the capacity to destroy the conditions conducive to life
on a global scale.

- "There are enormous numbers
of people now who are asking the question, 'How can we live in a way that
creates conditions conducive to life?'”
- Janine Benyus - "We’ve framed the
environmental problem the wrong way. There is no environment out there and
we’re here, and we’ve got to regulate our interaction with it. We ARE the environment. There is no
distinction. And what we are doing
to our surroundings, we’re doing directly to ourselves."
– David Suzuki - "How clean a
car would you buy if the exhaust pipe, instead of being aimed at pedestrians,
were simply pumped into the passenger compartment? Well, probably pretty clean.
Yet we all live downwind and downstream of the products we make."
– Amory Lovins
- "We cannot just simply
organize ourselves to be effective, or efficient or productive. We have to organize our industrial
systems in such a way that our oceans, our soil, our waters, our riparian
systems and our climate are restored, step by step by step."
– Paul Hawken - "Someday, after
we have mastered the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness
for good the energies of love. And then for the second time in the history of
the world, we will have discovered fire."
– Jeanne Achterberg
