You're correct. Silence would be treason. Not taking action will be treason. Being an onlooker will be treason. By freeing us from silence, making us take action with your newsletter, stop us from being onlookers, you're going to free us from treason. You have a great idea here.

Thank you. I admit I am trying to encourage myself as much as others. I know that I need to do better.

These are great resources - I especially appreciate the article on how to talk with children about climate change and also translating the jargon. You've curated some focused resources worth saving.

Eric Holthaus' The Future Earth has a lot of good discussion of the importance of talking about climate change

Great resources - and with my day-job in public radio, one thing that has hit me the last couple of years is how important, and urgent, conversation and human connection has become to increase our understanding of the issues and each other. Thank you for all you are doing to foster this.

Thank you. I feel like it's too easy for our conversations to become polarised these days. I'm trying to learn to have better conversations myself and I hope I can bring others along with me.

These are all great resources. It is important to build common ground, even if it takes time to build. I have found when people come to grasp the exponential nature of many things in the recent past, it becomes more understandable how large the human impact has been and how recent it is. That seems to lay a good groundwork for the next conversation.

Thanks Mark. It's a good point about things being exponential in the recent past - overwhelming, but valid. And you're right, this kind of thing happens over many conversations, not just one.
