Desperate measures are needed to mitigate the climate crisis, but they can be filled with joy and imagination.
with me was that I had the power to create my own unique connection to nature. All I needed was an open mind for learning, respect for the environment and people, and a spirit of reciprocity.
As a result, I feel more connected to the environment around me and feel a lot more dedicated to action. Developing a spiritual connection to the Earth makes climate action feel like a way to reciprocate the environment’s generosity, and I am happy to do it. I know a spiritual connection to the trees and the bees isn’t for everyone, and that is OK, too — there are other ways to connect deeply with the Earth without using the language of spirituality. Thankfully, as people, we are diverse and naturally creative.
For me, connecting in these nonscientific ways to the Earth has helped fuel my dedication to taking part in actions like mindful consumption, protecting local ecology, learning to compost and grow food, and engaging in climate policy spaces. For example, learning gratitude for animal and plant life makes me think twice about throwing out a shirt, or taking more food than I need.
As climate disasters become more common, we are in desperate times, and desperate measures are needed. But these measures can be filled with joy and imagination for us all. Discussing the climate doesn’t have to only be depressing and anxiety-inducing. We all have to find ways to create hope and action within ourselves and our communities — our future depends on it. So, pick up your paint brushes, instruments, camera, or whatever else comes to mind and connect.
