Environmentalist and best-selling author Frances Moore Lappé is interviewed by Michelle Schroeder Fletcher about her book Ecomind: Changing the Way We Think, to Create the World We Want. Lappé, author of the best-selling Diet for a Small Planet, and co-founder of the Small Planet Institute deconstructs seven common "thought traps" about our ecological and social crises and offers a new mental framework - an "eco-mind" - brought to life in seven "thought leaps." In "EcoMind" she aims to dissolve feelings of powerlessness and stimulate imagination and ingenuity.
