LET'S EDUCATE OURSELVES TOWARDS A BETTER WORLD

As soon as we start reading about the forces behind climate change, we realize the “controversy” is created by huge and powerful industries that don’t want to change because their extreme profits are at stake - their greed is a disservice to all of us. We need to learn and work to educate others about the consequences of continuing on our current path so that we, as a human race, can flourish alongside the Earth.

Let’s read books like Naomi Klein’s This Changes Everything, Bill McKibben’s Oil and Honey, and magazine articles built on the research of esteemed scientists. Let’s watch films like Josh Fox’s Gasland (2010) and How To Let Go of the World And Love All the Things Climate Can't Change (2016). Let’s stay up to date on environmental news so we can educate ourselves and share our knowledge with family, friends, and community.

We can learn how to install windmills and solar panels; learn which items are best to recycle; learn how to insulate our houses...and teach these lessons to our kids.
