Don’t know about you but I freeze when I think/read about climate collapse. Like, it feels like I stop breathing.
I have a bunch of books and podcasts I could read and I just don’t because the thought of It All panics me.
Probably because (a) I’m trying to do it on my own and (b) I’m not actually doing anything.. Literally nothing. Recycling doesn’t count.
I was thinking this morning about what it might look like if we all had a collective climate project we were part of.
You know how when people meet you they ask, What do you do? (hate that for lots of reasons but it’s true.)
What if you could meet anyone and ask,
What climate project are you part of?
There’s so many ways of being involved.
Actual digging/planting/purifying/saving/nurturing/whatever.
Lobbying.
Direct action.
Writing.
Website maintenance.
Community-building support.
Convening.
Research.
MONEY.
Witchcraft.
Wayfinding.
Cooking for the people doing all of that work.
Some kind of action, WITH OTHERS.
What if we made it just a part of life - that in addition to EVERYTHING else we do, we had a climate project we were part of?
Just musing.
