If you're feeling hopeless and burned out because of climate change, I can't recommend this book enough. "Cognitive psychologists recognize the importance of being aware that we are part of a team. 'People easily feel helpless if left on their own when confronted with the severity of the coming climate disruptions,' Stoknes observes. But 'participating in a community or group that works for a common cause is a good remedy (the only one, actually) for this toxic helplessness and passivity.' When my students recognize that they are all in the same boat and that they *need* to rely on each other, to express vulnerability about their anxiety and dread, and to cultivate community morale, they become the change they want to manifest in the world. They spread that uplift to other classes. Not feeling alone is probably the most important prescription for long-term resilience. When our classes start with building community before learning content, we all have far more energy and passion about the subject matter when we finally get there... Practice green consumerism because it feels right- because you *wish* to- not because you'll feel guilty if you don't. Don't let green consumerism make you complacent. When you limit your arena of social change to what you buy or don't buy, you can lull yourself into thinking that's enough. Remember that the pollution and resource costs of a pen pale in comparison to the impacts of industries. Although we wield power as consumers, we have greater impact as citizens, community members, and social-change agents who can do much more than not buy plastic cutlery or pens. I find myself responding resentfully to environmental messages that ask me to feel guilty. Kimmerer's non-built based pathos helped me overcome my own affective dissonance with respect to guilt. That is the model we should use in encourage others to become climate activists. 'Make justice and liberation feel good,' insisnts adrienne maree brown. Humans will come back over and over again to feel pleasure.'" My Booklist: bit.ly/mcgreads (link in bio) #McGReads」5月31日 4時01分
