I want humanity to survive. I want our planet to heal, and a better future for generations to come. This is where I'm collecting the resources helping me hold it together, and keep despair at bay so I can be functional, continue learning, and do my part to work for change. I hope it helps you, too!
There's an understandable tendency to try to scare or shame people into action, but that approach by itself can have the opposite, unintended effect of causing us to shut down and feel helpless and paralyzed. Many great climate communicators have been contributing a more nuanced, compassionate, and solutions-oriented approach to communicate urgency while also teaching of the agency we ALL have (especially together) and reminding us of our very real potential for a better future, (i.e., more carrot, not just stick.) While learning how to manage my own overwhelming anxiety, and seeking a role in the climate movement, I've found many resources and inspirations I want to share with others, which is why I decided to create this collection, bringing together inspiring solutions that are already taking place, and ways we can build hope, courage, community, agency, and resilience, and find effective ways to take climate action.
