When we see the scale of the climate change disaster unfolding before us, the slow responses to it, and the obstacles in the path, it can feel overwhelming.
That is the time to call a friend, or join a community group. To add to the words of Joan Baez (h/t ClimateBites):
Action is the antidote to despair (and the foundation of change).
When my grandmother called us to help fold laundry or shell peas, she'd say "Many hands make light work." She didn't know it, but she was teaching us resilience.
We need to do it ourselves, but we don't have to do it alone.
Visit my Take Action page for suggestions about things you can do in your everyday life to reduce your personal carbon emissions and to leverage systemic change. It includes links to community groups where like-minds work together to bring about the change we want to see.
