Discussed: What If You Lived In a Closed Biosphere? - Jane Poynter
2,109In 1991, 8 people walked into the first ever biosphere project, committed to live there, grow their own food, recycle their waste and sustain themselves on limited amounts of oxygen for 2 years. So who better to ask "What If we lived in a closed biosphere than Jane Poynter, one of the designers and participants of the historic endeavour. What was it like? How did people co-exist? Would this be feasible for larger communities? Join Peter, Richard and author, speaker, aerospace executive and former biospherian Jane Poynter, as they discuss what we learned from that biosphere project and how this could serve our future co-existence here on Earth and beyond.
NOTE: What If Discussed is on hiatus. The former producer and co-host of "What IF Discussed" asked and tried to answer lots of question on the show along with the top names in science. Join him now as he looks to go deeper, ask bigger questions with world thought leaders with nuance, objectivity and context on "A Third Way". - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCK1ZkAdeQ6UGJ_duA2FzEfg
