 COP27 is under-way and, once again, we are poised to hope. Hope that nations will make decisions that will actually stop support of the fossil fuel industry, stop the destruction of forests and the pollution of our waters. Hope is not a daydream word; it is an action word (read Homer Dixon’s, Commanding Hope). COP27 may push for big actions, but until a significant number of us rethink our mindsets/worldviews and make our day-to-day actions count nothing but the climate will change. Once again, I link to Story Soup Enterprises for the video, Combatting the Climate Crisis Through the Arts.

 Remember Brainstorming – the problem-solving technique?
I often mention the value of small groups for promoting climate crisis action and mutual support. Perhaps Brain Storming would be a good technique for a parent teacher’s organization or book club or other community group to use. To refresh our memories, here's how it goes:
There is only one rule – all ideas are accepted, no one can criticize or dismiss an idea including their own! When the 10 minutes are up the group chooses the most feasible ideas and starts planning the action. Happy Brainstorming! |
