CAN OUR PLANET SURVIVE CAPITALISM?

BOTH CLIMATE CHANGE MINISTER James Shaw and Greenpeace have praised Foodstuff's plan to build a new warehouse facility that will include New Zealand's largest solar panel array. Both Shaw and Greenpeace think this is evidence of the corporate sector doing its bit to fight climate change.

Francesca Fiorentini of Newsbroke dives into the rising waters of the global climate crisis, swimming past capitalism's fake solutions and surfacing with the only viable solution for survival: changing our economic model.
