Climate: A New Story
Description
A stirring case for a wholesale reimagining of the framing, tactics, and goals
we employ in our journey to heal from ecological destruction With research and
insight, Charles Eisenstein details how the quantification of the natural
world leads to a lack of integration and our “fight” mentality. With an entire
chapter unpacking the climate change denier’s point of view, he advocates for
expanding our exclusive focus on carbon emissions to see the broader picture
beyond our short-sighted and incomplete approach. The rivers, forests, and
creatures of the natural and material world are sacred and valuable in their
own right—not simply for carbon credits or preventing the extinction of one
species versus another. After all, when you ask someone why they first became
an environmentalist, they’re likely to point to the river they played in, the
ocean they visited, the wild animals they observed, or the trees they climbed
when they were a kid. This refocusing away from impending catastrophe and our
inevitable doom cultivates meaningful emotional and psychological connections
and provides real, actionable steps to caring for the earth. Freeing ourselves
from a war mentality and seeing the bigger picture of how everything from
prison reform to saving the whales can contribute to our planetary ecological
health, we resist reflexive postures of solution and blame and reach toward
the deep place where commitment lives. Read more
