GREG DALTON, Founder and Host, Climate OneWhere does change begin?
Addressing the climate challenge requires incremental and
transformational change on both personal and systemic levels. That
means altering our personal habits as citizens, consumers, employees
and parents.
At the same time, society needs to fundamentally modernize the food,
transportation, building and energy systems. That mind-blowing amount
of change is so daunting, it’s no wonder people look at the scale of
the challenge and want to skip away into the happy land of denial.
How should we think about change — and how do our words shape our
behavior? Will factors like power, social status and morality affect
the transition to a green economy? Join us for a conversation on
transforming our systems and ourselves with GEORGE LAKOFF, professor
emeritus of cognitive science and linguistics at UC Berkeley, AMANDA
RAVENHILL, executive director at the Buckminster Fuller Institute, and
MARGARET KLEIN SALAMON, founder and executive director of The Climate
Mobilization.
