    Ecodharma: 'Not Too Late' An Upaya Climate Change Podcast

    I enjoyed this recent climate change podcast from Upaya about (as the title suggests) how it isn't too late and how we can approach climate activism.

    Writer, historian, and activist, Rebecca Solnit, invites us to consider that action informed by a wise hope, rather than passive despair or optimism, is what we need to effectively engage the climate…


    On a similar note here is a short article about younger people and climate optimism -https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2022/jul/15/climate-optimism-gen-z

    Gassho,

      Thank you, Heiso! I really enjoyed that talk with Rebecca Solnit. Her book Hope in the Dark is a great antidote to pessimism, pointing out that many turning points in human history have been preceded by apparently little movement until a tipping point is reached. Since we don't know when the tipping point will be, we need to keep pushing until it happens.

      Great to see the optimism of younger people. I remember myself believing everything is possible when I was young but the thing is that if you believe that, it is the kind of energy that is need to create change.
