Season 3, Episode 18: Finding Your Place and Digging in
In this episode, Thomas and Panu discuss the importance of finding a place, digging in, and taking responsibility in the face of climate change and environmental issues. They explore the idea of being a creator or actor rather than a passive consumer and the significance of having short-term and long-term goals. Our missions take place in a web of relationships with humans and more-than-humans. Panu and Thomas also touch on the connection between climate change and death, and the need to engage with difficult topics. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the concept of non-action and the importance of mindfulness.
Takeaways
Don’t try to be everything. Be “good enough.”
Recognize that your mission will naturally change and evolve once you commit to action.
Be a creator or actor or worker inspired by climate change, in your own way.
Once you have your own thing to do, you don’t need to chase the news about every issue.
