The most effective way to address climate change is by using personal voices to discuss its local impacts and viable solutions with others.

“I have become absolutely convinced after years and years of working in this that the number one thing anybody can do is use their voice to talk about why it matters to us in the places where we live in ways that matter to us as people and what we can do to fix it”

Doomsday narratives are counterproductive because they induce paralysis and discourage people from taking meaningful action against climate change.

“I think it lulls us into a kind of state of paralysis. Like I speak to a lot of young people a lot of people email me and they're in a very dark place. They're in a place where they don't even know whether they should go to college.”
