It sounds harsh, however we don’t need more people living marginally greener/more sustainable lifestyles. Now is not the time for 'we have to start somewhere', its time for identifying our most powerful leverage points and putting everything we each have behind those.https://twitter.com/AlexSteffen/status/1138147106844172288 …

We really need to dump the whole idea that people who are only willing to do the smallest, least difficult actions to stave off planetary catastrophe are an important constituency for change. https://twitter.com/AlexSteffen/status/1136041862685286400 …

jfc why not both. I really hate this line of thinking that one precludes the other. When it informs the other.

Ah, there is nuance around some convos on @AlexSteffen's timeline that I'm reacting to. On the one hand, I agree with @bethsawin:https://twitter.com/bethsawin/status/1135633563553009664 …

I mean who would say “treating your female coworkers with respect is just virtue signaling; what we really need is equal pay legislation”. We can work, learn, change, and grow as individuals and work towards systemic change both at once.

But on the other hand, I totally agree with @AlexSteffen here:https://twitter.com/AlexSteffen/status/1133492721476222976 …

"Everyone can do *something* about the planetary crisis, even if it only makes a small difference." and "Everyone needs to do *everything* they can, starting at the highest level of power they can reach and moving as fast as possible." are not parts of the same strategy.

There's very little evidence that the strategy of "get them hooked on recycling, then move them on to harder stuff" has worked, at all. Though in fairness, there's very little evidence any of our other personal engagement strategies have worked, either.

Quite honestly, I'm frustrated by people's misguided "hope" that everything will be fine if they do their (very) small personal, usually consumer-based thing and don't treat the emergency we're in like an emergency; never get beyond their small actions to reach BIG.

Our societies severely limit our imaginations of what we can do. Of how powerful we are. Of how much we can change things when we join with others. This limitation seems normal virtually all of the time and “just the way things are.”

I certainly suffer from this, but we need to push ourselves in this pivotal time in history, and really grapple with: What can I do? Where can I join with others? Where can I leverage the most power?

One of the most important things we can do right now is to question the almost-default-unaware ways we feel small and where that limits what we can do. And help others to do this. And if we do that, it helps the smaller things we do have much more meaning.

  Thanks for coming to my TEDtalk. lol And thanks for listening. It's rough facing the climate crisis, knowing how urgent things are, how much of this precious world and humanity is and will be severely threatened.
