| Summary: | The conversation in the United States around the climate crisis is politically charged and divisive. There are those who deny the climate is changing. There are those who assign more value to an extractive capitalism and diminish the need to consider its impact on the planet. There are those who ignore, willfully or otherwise, corporate and personal actions contributing to climate change. For some, the urgency to change is undeniable, and solutions offered toward change demand a change of behavior such as eating less meat, driving fewer miles, or eliminating fossil fuels. Although such actions are likely part of the solution to the crisis, this author suggests human behavior will not change until we reimagine our relationship with the earth. Drawing inspiration from creation stories, humankind can remember our origin is from the earth and our best chance to change our behavior is to love the earth that gives us life. |
