Deep Thinking about Ourselves and Climate Change
The science of Climate Change is clear; it is real, it is serious, and it is bad. We must act fast. We actually know the kinds of things we must do in order to minimize, reduce, or even reverse, Climate Change. What is not clear is how to get there from here. How do we get the best solutions in place as quickly as possible? It is also not clear what, if anything, we as individuals can do. How do we find the space in our everyday lives to engage with solving Climate Change in a way that feels—and is—meaningful? I believe the second question is the answer to the first; we need to engage deeply as individuals to maximize our efforts at mitigating Climate Change. Through this Blog I explore the personal side of dealing with Climate Change, from how to feel and engage, to how to mitigate it and empower others to join in the cause.
