It's easy to feel overwhelmed by climate change. Climate change is not just about greenhouse gases, technology, policy, and renewable energy. Climate change is a relational problem rooted deep in our culture and the ways we see our world. It comes from our relationships with the ecosystems and people who make up our complex world. It comes from our relationships with ourselves as we navigate an increasingly fast-paced and consumeristic world. Groundwork is a podcast exploring culture's role in climate change and how it relates to us as individual people.
Our pandemic offers more than just a temporary pause in greenhouse gas emissions—it offers a chance to re-examine fundamental pieces of our culture that cause climate change.
