Change the pronoun from what they're going to do about climate change
to what I'm going to do about it - for those I love.
An innovative, interactive workshop on our roles as loved ones, citizens, consumers and workers in the systems we need for a liveable climate. Participants engage honestly and openly with the challenging question of how to do more through a playful characterisation of the common excuses we make to avoid our environmental responsibility.
Participants:
identify their various roles and potential to influence the systems that drive and mitigate climate change;
identify and understand the rationale behind the common excuses we make to protect ourselves from climate anxiety and maintain our status quo;
come away with tools to stop the excuses and foster the internal motivation to live sustainably.
It's for:
Everyone. The human activity driving climate change is shaped by people making policy through to people driving supply and demand. We all face similar difficulties in doing the right thing for our climate future. Sorry is a tool we can all use.
Feedback from participants
“It was really interesting to get another point of view on climate change because we normally only get the scientific explanation behind it.”
“I really like your approach of understanding instead of confronting.”
“It was fun and easy to understand.”
"It left me more hopeful about the future than other discussions and the news in general about climate change.”
A taste of the content
Our armchair environmentalist whispers the excuses we use everyday to avoid taking responsibility for our environmental behaviours: just this once, my actions don't make a difference, governments have to act.
These excuses keep us safely in our comfort zones, protecting us from the overwhelming realities of climate change and our fear of change and loss.
When we acknowledge our excuses and learn to say "NO" to our armchair environmentalism, we can find joy and relief from our climate anxiety.
