Summary

Last year was the hottest year on record, so it's safe to say that Earth Day as we traditionally celebrate isn't working. On today's show I suggest what I believe is the antidote to the climate crisis (and I'm willing to bet you won't be able to guess what it is!). Here's a preview: [3:45] The Big 5: We know what we should do environment-wise, so why aren't we doing it? [7:15] Communal care is anti-capitalist, and that's really darn important [16:30] Here's what research finds re: the relationship between collectivist culture and pro-environmental behaviors [24:00] If the problem is disconnection, is the solution as simple as authentic reconnection? [34:00] It's actually not hard at all to pivot from the conventional, negative feedback loop we find ourselves currently in This show is listener-supported. Thank you for supporting! Join our (free!) community here. Find your tribe. Sustainable Minimalists are on Facebook, Instagram + Youtube. Say hello! MamaMinimalistBoston@gmail.com.
