Listening to an old friend Vandana Shiva at #BeyondGrowth in EU Parliament.. "The ecological problem began with the colonial problem..All the land of India was turned into a commodity . 60 million died .. Colonialism was 'nature based'..." she says 
Vandana criticises John Locke - on money and investment... "the currency of money that is extinguishing life.."
"88% of biodiversity is to be found on 22% of the land...under the protection of indigenous communities. Should we not be supporting them? " she asks,..
"The illusion that money is the currency of life - when life is the currency of life".
Nearly 1,000 audience members rise to give Vandana a standing ovation... #BeyondGrowth
