The Conscious Society Podcast

A conversation with Kamal Seth on becoming a Sustainability Warrior

With Rita & Ankith Season 1 Episode 5

In this episode, we speak with Kamal Seth about his origin story and how he came to be a sustainability warrior. Contrary to the Hollywood paradigm of superheroes and supervillains, Kamal believes that our consumption patterns of unconscious living are at the center of this duality and the real thing that will allow us to move towards climate action.

We’re so glad he joined us and introduced us to his vision of doing more with less, and how one can become more conscious and contribute positively to this cause.
