About this episode
The biggest climate stories blame "all of us," or cast solutions as "impossible." These narratives leave people feeling hopeless and confused about what we actually can do.
In our first episode: individual actions versus structural change. What's the right way to think about the role they each have in addressing the climate crisis? We'll explore the nuances and misperceptions.
Leah and Katharine dig into their own personal histories and revelations. Plus, we'll hear from Bill McKibben about why plastic straws and lightbulbs do very little about the problem. And we'll hear from Dr. Shahzeen Attari about how individual behavior can have an impact on the climate crisis.
