Presenter: Robert Bell from the Climate Coaching Alliance
This presentation is geared primarily towards adults. Using the concepts of existential psychology, Robert will helps people of all ages transform their thinking, feeling, and acting to face the climate emergency with active optimism
A
Well,
good
morning,
everybody
Welcome
to
The
Climate
reality
project
DFW,
chapter
July,
15th
meeting,
it's
good
to
see
everybody.
It's
been
a
hot
summer
here,
so
welcome.
The
first
thing
I'd
like
to
do
is
I
see
one
or
two
names
that
look
Vaguely
Familiar
and
maybe
one
or
two
names
that
haven't
been
here
in
quite
some
time.
A
A
B
Hi
I'm
Kevin,
Overton
I'm,
actually
been
a
member
and
and
formerly
was
participated
quite
a
bit
in
in
this
organization.
I
went
to
the
training
in
Atlanta
back
in
was
it
2019,
I
think
wow
anyway,
I'm
a
senior
environmental
coordinator
for
the
city
of
Dallas
and
I
have
an
announcement
that
I'll
make
later
on
talking
about
an
opportunity
that
I
think
you
guys
need
to
know
about,
but
I'm
glad
to
be
back
is
I,
see
a
lot
of
familiar
faces,
but
I
also
see
a
lot
of
faces.
A
A
A
C
A
A
A
A
A
E
Would
be
so
kind?
We
want
to
start
this
meeting
with
our
indigenous
land
acknowledgment,
which
is
available
on
our
chapter
website.
In
the
DFW
area
we
are
standing
and
living
on
the
lands
stolen
from
the
Kickapoo
Wichita
tawakani
to
Manos
and
Comanche
people
who
have
been
harmed
yet
continue
to
thrive
in
the
process
of
colonization
and
white
supremacy.
I
encourage
all
of
us
to
go
to
Native,
hyphen
land,
dot,
CA
and
educate
ourselves
on
these
native
communities.
F
G
Federals
for
our
meetings,
please
make
space
or
take
space
limit
your
comments
to
two
minutes
each
so
that
everybody
has
time
to
speak.
When
you
speak,
speak
from
the
eye
perspective,
it
says
generalizing
practice
active
listening
and
seek
to
understand,
assume
that
everybody
has
good
intentions,
respect
one
another's
Face,
Time
and
interest
be
willing
to
be
uncomfortable,
be
open
to
productive
discomfort.
Remember
that
intent
does
not
negate
impact
disagree
without
Discord
personal
attacks
and
labeling
of
no
place
in
our
chapter,
and
please
accept
there
are
no
quick
fixes
for
the
issues
we
discussed.
H
H
The
message
from
the
elders
is
about
overcoming
obstacles,
and
the
reminder
is
that
whenever
we
set
forth
on
a
creative
Journey
to
bring
something
into
being
or
any
kind
of
goal-oriented
Journey
that
we
are
going
to
bump
into
challenges,
it
is
the
very
part
of
the
creative
process,
and
so
the
message
from
the
elders
from
my
Elder
grandmother,
Twyla
Niche.
She
felt
that
this
month
was
all
about
love.
What
might
you
be
asking?
H
Does
love
have
to
do
with
being
an
environmentalist,
as
Tina
Turner
said,
What's
Love
Got
to
Do
with
It,
and
she
said,
love
has
everything
to
do
with
it.
She
called
it.
The
lover
conqueror
lover,
slash
conqueror
she
gave
to
us
and
we
sat
at
our
feet,
scratching
our
heads
and
said
how
did
those
two
relate?
H
H
She
said
to
us
and
my
other
Elder
Amelie
said:
love
is
the
very
fabric
of
the
universe
and
the
universe
does
not
lessen
the
amount
of
love
in
whatever
quotient
we're
working
with.
We
do,
and
so
she
said
to
us,
feel
your
feelings,
but
don't
lessen
your
ability
to
receive
the
vastness
of
Love,
don't
make
the
ocean
a
straw,
be
mad
where
you're
mad
be
mad
at
your
people,
places
circumstances,
organizations,
corporations
and
keep
that
valve
of
Love
Open
for
both
of
these
Elders.
H
They
felt
that
this
was
also
the
pathway
of
being
a
peacemaker,
while
we're
being
environmentalists
activists
creating
in
our
lives
I'm
grateful
to
the
elders
for
sharing
this
information
and
I'm
happy
to
open
them
from
a
spirit
of
heart,
also
said
to
be
the
organ
of
the
season
of
Summer,
Joy,
heart
love,
and
so
we
begin
our
meeting.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
You
thank
you
path,
good
well,
as
I
mentioned
earlier.
This
theme
today
that
Robert
will
be
addressing
started
with
some
conversations
between
Maureen
and
I
about
Echo
anxiety,
climate
anxiety,
and
it
would
be
a
very
appropriate
topic
for
us
to
learn
more
about
since
we're
all
constantly
feeling
that
and
living
that.
A
He
was
credentialed
to
teach
life
science,
students,
behavior
disar,
ordered
students,
emotionally
disturbed
students,
learning
handicapped
students
and
hmong
students
over
a
period
of
26
years,
the
students
ages
rate
range
from
eight
years
old
to
17
years
old,
as
I
mentioned
he's
involved
in
the
climate
coaching
Alliance
Robert
is
I
should
have
asked
you,
but
I've
been
traveling
anything
else.
We
should
know
about
you
before
we
get
started.
I
A
I
So
what
I've
done
here
is
about
the
first
nine
minutes,
I'm
just
reflecting
on
transforming
Eco
anxiety
and
your
mission
statement
and
then
I
go
on
to
the
book
that
I
read
and
it's
all
kind
of
prepared,
I
timed.
It
last
night,
Richard
said:
go
for
25
minutes
that
was
24
minutes
and
50
seconds
after
five
or
six
different
run,
throughs,
so
I'm
confident
I'll
be
able
to
hold
into
the
time
and
Reserve
time
for
sort
of
social
talking,
okay
and
as
far
as
the
slides
go
Richard
you're
going
to
screen
share
me.
I
I
To
collapse,
I
don't
speak
French,
it's
in
French,
don't
be
afraid
of
collapse
over
the
last
year.
Those
ideas
have
completely
changed.
My
world
view,
particularly
about
climate
first
I'd
like
to
begin
with
the
mission
statement
of
the
climate
reality
project
I
decided
to
decide
to
start
with
your
mission
statement
and
then
go
into
the
book,
but
I
must
say
that
your
mission
statement
carried
me
away
about
the
first
10
minutes
here
will
be
about
how
transforming
eco-anxiety
begins
with
the
ideas
in
your
mission
statement.
I
I
A
year
later
she
refused
to
fly
but
sailed.
Instead
on
a
yacht
to
New
York
to
speak
at
the
U.N
about
climate,
she
became
the
person
of
the
year
that
year
she
said
I'm,
not
flying
so
she
took
the
yacht
over
the
next
year.
Her
focus
on
airline
emissions
led
many
people
who
flew
to
consider
their
emissions.
I
It
also
led
to
demonstrations
against
private
jets
at
airports,
including
tarmac
sit-ins
in
the
Amsterdam
Airport,
and
that's
going
on
now
in
Europe
a
lot
there's.
This
demonstration,
why
should
people
get
a
private
jet
and
fly
somewhere
and
this
huge
emission
comes
out
when
they
can
just
get
on
a
regular
flight
or
not
fly
throughout
history
changes
often
begin
at
the
personal
level
and
then
spread
to
the
social
level.
I
And
I'm
not
going
to
ask
you
to
read
this
just
look
at
the
slopes.
This
goes
straight
up
as
I'm
sure
everybody
knows,
or
has
seen
since
1990
to
1960
to
2000
20.
admissions,
going
straight
up,
getting
hotter
and
hotter,
and
hotter
and
hotter
this
graph
of
smoking
from
about
1900
to
1960.
It
was
actually
steeper
if
you
took
it
to
scale
and
went
up
faster
by
1964
a
lot
of
people
smoking.
There
were
half
a
pack
of
cigarettes
per
day
for
every
adult
over
18
in
the
U.S.
I
I
I
I
I
Your
mission,
statement's
idea
of
every
sector
of
society,
includes
a
very
broad
scope.
While
thinking
about
this
presentation,
I
have
come
to
realize
that
a
small
personal
project
I've
been
working
on
actually
involves
a
huge
sector
of
society,
four
million
teachers
and
their
50
million
students,
I
noticed
on
the
climate
reality
project
website
that
there
are
many
personal
stories
and
I
realized
that
I
have
one
here
to
share
myself.
I
I
What
a
simple
good
idea
so
on
Earth
Day
2022
I
went
to
my
local
high
school
and
talked
with
two
science
teachers
about
teaching
a
climate
class
as
part
of
their
science
curriculum
I
come
in
weekly
monthly,
didn't
matter.
Take
some
kids
do
a
climate
class
I
had
taught
science
for
many
years,
and
the
teachers
were
interested
in
the
idea.
I
I
At
the
personal
level,
my
own
carbon
footprint
became
a
daily
Target
for
me
to
work
with
at
the
social
level,
I
began,
giving
Zoom
presentations
with
the
climate,
coaching
Alliance
and
then
on.
Earth
Day,
2023
I
became
excited
about
starting
the
climate
class
and
I
went
back
to
see
the
same
science
teachers.
A
year
later,
who
remembered
me,
they
passed
my
ideas
on
to
the
vice
principals.
I
I
met
with
the
vice
principals
last
month
and
set
up
climate
class
for
next
year
as
part
of
the
curriculum
in
environmental
science
and
I'm
really
excited
looking
forward
to
it.
I'm
writing
a
transform,
eco-anxiety
training
manual,
I'm,
not
calling
it
therapy,
and
just
this
is
a
training
manual.
It's
going
to
be
written
at
the
10th
grade
level.
I've
got
about
30
pages
of
it.
It's
going
to
be
about
50
pages
long.
I
It's
going
to
take
the
ideas
of
this
book
and
just
present
them
to
10th
graders
one
advice
friend,
I
showed
the
the
manual
to
the
vice
principals,
and
then
one
vice
principal
quietly
told
me
that
he
recently
came
down
to
his
kitchen
and
he
found
his
12
year
old,
daughter,
Weeping
at
the
kitchen
table
when
he
asked
her.
What
was
wrong.
She
looked
up
and
she
said
climate.
I
A
large
proportion
of
those
teachers
read
the
news
and
recognize
the
climate
emergency
next
month
during
summer
break
I'm,
going
to
give
two
presentations
directed
specifically
towards
teachers
and
parents
concerned
with
the
challenges
that
are
before
are
eco-anxious
youth
according
to
a
2021
Lancet
study.
That's
the
British
medical
journal
of
ten
thousand
youth
in
10,
developed
countries,
France
U.S,
UK,
all
over
the
world.
The
majority
of
our
youth
describe
themselves
as
eco-anxious,
most
of
them.
It's
like
70
percent
56
of
them
believe
that
our
planet
is
doomed
most
of
the
kids
16
to
25.
I
According
to
a
sample
of
10
000
in
10
developed
countries
figure
the
planet
is
doomed.
So
there's
this
mindset,
that's
different
than
the
baby
boomer
mindset
that
I
grew
up
with
for
sure
these
students
are
highly
approachable.
Sector
of
SEC
are
a
highly
approachable
sector
of
our
society,
much
more
approachable,
say
than
four
million
truck
drivers.
These
kids
are
going
to
school
they're
living
at
home
and
they
could
be
worked
with
many
teachers
in
core
subjects
could
teach
about
climate
as
part
of
their
math
sign
language,
their
math,
their
English,
their
literature,
their
science.
I
Climate
data
could
become
a
math
lesson.
Put
a
graph
up.
Talk
about
the
graph
climate
fiction
could
be
the
literature,
there's
a
whole
bunch
of
climate
fiction
out
there.
Now
just
that's
the
book.
We're
reading
the
sector
of
54
million
teachers
and
students
includes
both
influential
people,
teachers
and
influencers
to
be
students
growing
up
or
going
out
in
the
world
climate
classes
could
lead
to
big
changes
for
future
Generations.
I
I
Also
64
of
the
20
000
respondents
all
throughout
the
country
rarely
or
never
speak
about
climate
they
put
down
on
the
survey,
rarely
or
never
check,
and
even
though
half
of
that
64
percent
believe
that
climate
change
is
happening.
Of
course,
there's
a
halfway
more
deniers,
but
half
of
them
believe
it
was
happening,
but
they
still
would
not
talk
about
it
with
their
kids
or
at
the
dinner
table.
No,
no
mention.
I
I
I
I
I
I
E
F
I
I
was
called
how
everything
can
Collapse
by
another
man,
and
it
started
a
movement
called
collapsology
about
collapsing
Global
Systems,
including
the
climate
currently
one
in
five
French
people
have
heard
of
collapseology
and
when
Sutter
asked
me
of
translating
the
book
into
English
and
selling
it
in
the
U.S-
and
he
said
oh
I
told
him,
maybe
one
in
five
thousand
people
have
heard
of
collapsology
over
here.
It's
different
and
Sutter
began
having
therapy
sessions
with
people
who
had
been
devastated
by
the
ideas
in
the
book.
I
I
After
thousands
of
interviews,
he
began
to
see
that
some
people
had
read
the
book,
become
thoroughly
depressed
and
then
somehow
work
through
it
all
and
are
now
totally
happy,
and
so
he
decided
to
write
a
book
about
it.
The
preface
of
the
book
he
just
starts
off
with
a
librarian
in
Paris,
a
big
library
and
she's
totally
can't
sleep
can't
eat
really
unhappy
and
then
boom.
She
transforms
into
being
in
her
overalls,
picking
up
radishes
in
the
community
garden
beaming
at
him
and
Jesus
wow.
I
It
took
two
years,
so
the
the
gist
of
the
idea
is
that
you
start
out
with
your
ecological
awareness
and
existence
and
recognize
that
the
ecology
is
now
with
us
and
we
can
see
the
heat
coming
up
and
the
storms
and
the
wildfires
we
just
had
a
wildfire
yesterday
two
days
ago
and
where
I'm
from
and
that's
happening,
so
excuse
me
making
Eco
meanings
making
meanings
around
that.
We
include
the
environment
as
we
make
meanings
about
things.
I
Once
we
have
the
meanings
made,
we
make
Eco
choices
and,
from
there
Eco
engagements
like
this
Zoom
happen,
people
engage
around
ecology,
environment
and
the
natural
process,
the
gist
of
it
is
you
face
the
facts.
You
bring
the
facts
deep
inside
inside
you've
got
this
ethics
of
conviction
and
that
connects
with
an
ethics
of
responsibility
from
there
Eco
gestures,
which
I'll
explain
in
a
minute
start
happening
being
invented
and
created
everywhere.
I
I
Over
the
last
two
centuries,
existentialism
has
concerned
itself
with
death,
meaninglessness
freedom
and
isolation.
That's
what
I
learned
in
1980
in
a
class
group,
Psychotherapy
class
I
have
changed
these
terms
and
Sutter
has
agreed
with
my
changes,
to
make
the
ideas
easier
to
understand
and
more
useful
for
teaching
youth.
They
can
be
broken
down
like
this
being,
with
changes
being
with
dying.
I
You
could
say,
but
for
youth
I
don't
want
to
use
the
word
dying,
I'm,
just
saying
being
with
changes
dying,
divorce,
new
apartment,
whatever
the
change
from
there,
you
make
meanings:
you've
moved
to
Dallas
from
San,
Francisco
and
you're,
making
meetings
thinking
things
differently.
You
make
new
choices
and
you
engage
your
ecological
awareness
with
your
existence
becomes
very
important.
I
I
You
create
Eco
gestures,
little
gestures
that
you
make
like
using
the
electric
bike.
That's
been
in
my
garage
for
a
couple
years.
Eco
habits
can
develop
if
you
use
that
bike.
A
lot
personal
transformation
check
happened
to
me,
personal
activism
and
then
maybe
social
activism,
Eco
projects,
social
transformation.
I
All
right,
one
key
concept
from
the
book
describes
the
breaks
that
we
have
developed,
which
prevent
us
from
taking
action.
At
the
personal
level,
Sutter
describes
seven
breaks
to
action
about
making
change
and
I
hate,
putting
up
Powerpoints
and
reading
the
PowerPoint,
but
I'm
just
going
to
skim
through
it
and
I'm
also
going
to
send
these
in
your
chat.
F
I
F
I
Misinformation
confuses
us,
fake
news,
police
and
ideologies.

by

It's
techno

It
has
worked.
There's
right
now:
I'm
used
to
technology,
saving
things
for
me
and
it's
worked
comparisons
with
others.
They
aren't
doing
it.
So
why
should
we?
I
The

I'm,
not
so

this
is

one

If

uncertainties
and
mistrust
can
cause
a
denial
of
the
problem
for
several
decades.
Fossil
fuel
companies
just
advertised
uncertainties
about
the
causes
of
climate
change
and
they
delayed
equal
actions
until
the
lawsuits
of
2018.
That
was
the
first
time
things
started
to
get
serious,
perceived
risks.
I
Often
Guided
by
the
media.
Intense
risks
are
pointed
out.
More
than
frequent
risks.
Exceptional
events
like
school
shootings
get
much
more
attention
than
the
40
000
annual
traffic
deaths
in
the
United
States
one
wildfire
creates
a
huge
amount
of
attention
but
low
groundwater
in
El,
Paso
or
somewhere.
It
doesn't
get
the
same
kind
of
attention,
tokenism
and
limited
change.
I
think
this
may
be
the
most
serious
one.
We
choose
an
Easy
Action
I,
always
turn
off
the
water,
while
I
brush
my
teeth,
but
not
the
hard
action.
I
I
This
spring
I
joined
200
high
school
students
on
a
climate
walkout
during
third
period
from
their
school
to
the
Downtown
Plaza,
where
they
heard
moving
speeches,
songs
and
chants
for
an
hour
whose
future
our
future,
whose
future
our
future
I
was
amazed.
I,
just
that's
kind
of
also
what
brought
me
back
into
the
schools.
F
I
A
A
I
I
J
F
A
I
Okay,
Zip
Zap
boom,
we're
back
I
hope
that
worked
out
well
for
people.
There
was
no
chat
list,
Richard
and
I
just
learned
that
that
you
can't
put
it
on
chat
and
get
to
it.
So
nobody
had
a
list,
but
each
person
should
remember
like
one
or
two
things
right
that
came
up
so
in
some
ways
it
worked
out
better.
That
way,
no
list,
it's
just
right
here
or.
F
F
I
I
K
Unmute
I
think
Simon
made
a
good
observation,
learning
that
it's
not
just
what
we
do,
but
it's
a
system
that
we've
got
to
change
and
that's
a
that's
a
profound
learning,
but
the
other
conversation
we
really
had
is
about
having
the
conversations
the
the
shocking
statistics
Robert
you
gave
about.
People
aren't
talking
about
it
and
and
the
need
to
have
that.
Not
because
people
don't
hear
about
it,
they
assume
it
must
be
okay
and
if
it
is
spreading,
but
we
got
a
lot
of
work
to
do.
I
I,
just
heard
it
on
a
zoom
in
one
of
the
climate
talks
that
you
know
checked
out
the
Yale
information,
but
people
don't
talk
about
it
and
you
can't
bring
it
up
and
my
wife
doesn't
want
to
talk
about
it,
she's
in
the
bedroom
behind
me
and
she
might
be
able
to
hear
what
I'm
saying,
but
for
40
years
I've
been
talking
about.
She
does
not
want
to
talk
about
this.
What
you
want
to
make
me
depressed?
I
L
So
we
talked
about
how
a
lives
are
so
busy.
It's
really
hard
to
know
where
to
fit
it
in
to
your
into
your
busy
lives
and
two
when,
when
you
are
concerned
to
know
where
to
begin
and
I
have
to
add
my
personal
thing
to
that,
because
I
think
Americans
tend
to
think
in
terms
of
problems
and
therefore
Solutions.
Whereas
there's
a
school
of
thought
talking
about
predicaments
and
how
we
adjust
the
predicaments
right.
L
I
M
M
They
did
have
some
people
who
who
would
complain
and
that
this
this
stop
sign.
This
speed
limit
people,
don't
do
The
Pedestrian,
and
he
said
if
you
would
call
3-1-1
instead
of
complain
on
next
door
or
post
on
social
media.
That
probably
would
have
been
taken
care
of.
But
when,
when
you
tell
me
that
this
issue
and
whatever
it
was,
they
looked
it
up,
he
said
there
are
zero
complaints
on
3-1-1
about
it.
Whereas
if
you're
saying
this,
many
people
have
a
problem
and
want
this
change.
M
I
I
Her
phone's
right
there
I
just
text
her
she's
there,
but
I
don't
do
any
and
I
try
and
limit
emails
and
I,
try
and
and
I
think
that
it
is,
as
you
suggest,
it's
a
it's
like
shout
it's
talking
into
a
paper
bag
and
thinking
everybody
can
hear
you,
okay,
you're
gonna
and
just
put
it
out
and
blast
it
in
social
media,
and
you
think
that
that'll
solve
it,
but
it's
not
a
connection
with
City
Hall,
a
connection
with
the
parking
facility
down
here
or
the
parks
over
here.
What
they're
doing
with
this?

Whatever
happens
on
Earth
during
the
century,
our
youth
will
be
facing
great
challenges
and
will
need
great
coping
skills.
Here
is
the
ipcc
summary
for
policy
makers
and
on
Greta
thurnberg's
tweet.
They
had.
They
showed
it
to
a
group
of
policy
makers
and
some
top
29
or
something
28th
thing,
and
nobody
was
even
listening
to
it.
They
just
were
looking
at
their
phones
and
didn't
make
an
event,
but.
I
I'll
hit
it
boom.
Okay,
sorry
and
I.
Don't
expect
anybody
to
read
this
it's
too
long
to
to
read,
but
just
look
at
the
colors
down
and
I'm
sure
people
have
seen
this.
They
they
put
this
out
in
March,
the
ipcc
summary
for
policy
makers.
You
think
that
all
CEOs
throughout
the
world
would
have
looked
at
it.
Don't
relate
to
words,
look
at
now
and
it's
1.3
or
1.4
degrees,
and
it's
rough
and
100
over
100
degrees
for
a
week
is
rough
and
it's
amenities,
humidity
is
high.
I
That's
it
that's
hard
if
you're
born
now
and
we
have
very
low
emissions
about
considering
what's
projected
their
whole
life
on
this
bottom
level
will
be
worse
than
anything
we've
seen
and
if
it's
very
high,
that's
the
extrapolations
movie
and
it's
out
of
control
this,
the
Third
third
fourth
episode
in
India
is
just
unbelievable.
People
stay
in
all
day
and
they
go
out
at
Sunset
and
they're
out
allowed
out
in
the
night
until
sunrise
and
they
come
back
in
the
house.
It's
it's
really
hard
to
watch
so.
I
Don't
bother
to
read
the
words
just
look
at
the
colors,
it's
important
to
put
ourselves
in
the
mindset
of
those
56
percent
of
Youth
in
the
Lancet
study,
who
believe
that
the
planet
is
doomed.
Just
that's!
What's
coming
up,
we
have
to
sort
of
sit
with
that
they're,
inheriting
a
difficult
climate,
and
they
need
help.
What
Solutions
can
we
offer
them,
which
will
enable
them
to
have
satisfying
lives?
I
I
One
day
there
was
a
huge
forest
fire.
All
the
terrified
animals
stunned
were
helplessly
watching
the
disaster.
Only
the
Little
Hummingbird
was
busy
picking
up
a
few
drops
with
its
beak
to
throw
them
on
the
Fire.
After
a
moment,
the
armadillo
irritated
by
this
Behavior
said
to
him.
Hummingbird,
are
you
crazy?
It's
not
with
these
drops
of
water
that
you're
going
to
put
out
the
fire
when
the
hummingbird
replied,
I,
know
it,
but
I'm
doing
my
part,
I
looked
up
the
story
again
on
the
internet.
I
I
And
this
last
key
idea:
I
really
want
to
get
into
because
that's
the
solution
for
being
a
teacher
of
these
10th
graders,
who
are
eco-anxious
and
see
the
world
is
doomed.
Here's
what
we
can
do,
let's
say,
there's
two
options:
one
option:
one:
we
will
save
the
planet
option
two.
We
will
not
save
the
planet.
The
hummingbird
seems
to
find
happiness
in
either
situation.
I
How
can
that
be
possible?
Sutter
explains
that
part
of
the
reason
for
the
hummingbird's
happiness
has
to
do
with
psychologists
called
the
Locust
of
control.
Some
people
control
themselves
by
focusing
on
something
inside
themselves,
often
an
influential
adult's
voice,
their
parents
voice
teacher's
voice
when
they
were
a
kid.
They
just
hear
that
voice.
J
I
I
I
I
I
Other
people
make
their
decisions
about
how
to
act
based
on
what
they
think
other
people
would
do
from
the
outside,
in
which
myth
which
method
you
choose
to
achieve.
The
journey
is
very
important.
Once
a
person
understands
how
this
works,
they
can
slowly
change
their
locus
of
control
and
look
at
things
differently.
The
ending
with
the
hummingbird
saying
I'm
doing
everything
I
can
shows
an
internal
locus
of
control
because
the
hummingbird
is
acting
for
meanings
deep
inside
the
ending
with
I'm
doing.
I
I
If,
on
the
other
hand,
if
others
are
not
trying
to
stop
the
fire,
then
an
internal
locus
of
control
works
best
I'm,
doing
everything.
I
can
I'm
not
just
doing
my
part
here.
I'm
doing
what
I
can
in
both
situations,
though
your
eco-anxiety
transforms,
and
you
end
up
feeling
good
about
yourself
and
your
actions.
I
I
The
last
key
idea
from
the
book
I
want
to
go
over
is
called
the
Eco
gesture
every
day.
Each
of
us
chooses
to
make
many
many
small
actions,
often
related
to
energy
consumption,
which
can
involve
food,
Transportation,
air
conditioning
adjustments,
clothing,
consumer
activities
and
so
on.
Youth
under
16
are
not
as
engaged
in
fossil
fuel
use,
and
there
are
smaller
actions
related
to
energy.
I
Consumption
often
include
recycling
plastic,
use,
closing
doors,
turning
off
lights,
different
set
of
things,
although
when
I
turn
16
and
get
a
car
things
change,
there's
a
new
word
used
in
Europe
called
ecogester,
which
is
not
in
the
English
Webster's
Dictionary
yet,
but
it
is
used
throughout
the
book
and
I'm
going
to
quote
from
the
book.
I
made
book
notes,
and
so
a
lot
of
what
I'm
going
to
say
here
is
just
quotes
from
a
book.
I
For
example,
compare
waving
goodbye
to
a
friend
with
waving
away
a
mosquito,
even
though
the
motion
may
be
appear
to
be
exactly
the
same.
The
meanings
are
different
after
thousands
of
interviews
with
people
devastated
by
the
idea
of
collapsing
systems,
Sutter
found
that
transforming
ecological
anxiety
begins
with
ecojectures,
no
matter
how
small
they
might
be.
I
According
to
a
large
survey
in
France
people
who
take
these
small
steps,
see
an
improvement
in
their
self-esteem
and
their
poor,
getting
Satisfaction
by
trying
even
small
changes
and
there's
thousands
of
people
in
France
that
have
just
transformed
into
they
even
have
a
happy
collapse
group
and
they
have
a
hummingbird
Society.
They
say
that
starting
with
Eco
gestures
may
make
starting
with
Eco
gestures.
That
may
seem
insignificant
is
fundamental.
It
allows
you
to
start
the
journey
from
the
inside
and
then
make
your
behavior
on
the
outside
indistinguishable
from
the
meanings
on
the
inside.
I
I
I
Above
all,
these
Eco
gestures
count
for
yourself,
there's
the
possibility
of
aligning
Eco
gesture
after
Eco
gesture,
your
behaviors
with
your
environmental
values.
For
me,
I
felt,
like
I,
got
transformed
last
November
as
I
finished.
The
book
I
took
all
the
ideas
to
heart
and
began:
inventing
and
investing
in
Daily
Eco
gestures.
I
I
It
was
no
longer
overwhelming
to
look
at
all
the
energy
waste
around
me.
I
began
just
to
look
at
my
own
drop
by
drop.
This
spring
I
began
giving
presentations
with
the
climate
coaching
Alliance
I
felt,
like
the
hummingbird
dropping
drops
one
by
one,
making
some
kind
of
difference
being
watched
by
the
armadillos
in
my
life
and
at
the
end
of
the
day,
feeling
good
about
my
experiences.
I
A
I
I
Appreciated
I'm
so
thankful
to
have
people
interested
in
this.
You
guys
are
so
cool
all
right.
Second
version:
these
are
supplemental
materials.
Here
we
go,
are
really
easy
to
write
down
but
hard
to
say
and
hard
to
read:
RFB
BBB,
gmail.com
fivebs,
please
email,
Robert
Bell!
If
you
would
like
a
copy
of
today's
script
in
the
slides
for
further
study
of
don't
be
afraid
of
collapse,
the
transforming
eco-anxiety
part
of
the
climate,
coaching
Alliance
meets
on
the
first
Tuesday
of
the
month,
11
o'clock.
My
time.
I
And
as
I
say,
the
author
asked
me:
should
we
try
and
translate
it
for
the
English
audience
and
I
told
him
over
here?
The
word
collapseology
I
read
about
collapseology
in
the
New
York
view
of
books
in
in
2019.
My
wife
gave
me
an
article,
it
had
it
in
it,
and
I
haven't
seen
the
word
mentioned
at
all
Americans.
Just
don't
do
that.
So
if
he
were
to
put
his
book
out,
don't
be
afraid
of
collapse,
it
would
not
be
a
bestseller,
it
would
I,
don't
think
it
would
be
the
best
seller.
A
Thank
you
so
much
again,
Robert
you're
certainly
welcome
to
stay
I
realize
it's
quite
early
for
you.
We
have
a
few
more
people
who
have
some
important
announcements
that
are
well.
One
is
Dallas
Centric
and
the
other
two
are
more
National
Centric.
So
thank
you
so
much
Robert
and
we
will
email
you
any
further
questions
and
comments.
A
I
A
A
G
Would
so
for
a
long
time
I
think
people
have
been
asking
who
are
we
as
climate
reality?
What
makes
us
different
from
these
other
organizations,
because,
since
the
pandemic
started,
we've
kind
of
moved
away
from
giving
presentations
in
front
of
large
rooms
of
crowded
people
and
National's
been
working
on
this
for
a
while,
I've
been
pestering
them
almost
constantly
for
answer,
and
they
they
revealed
something.
G
It's
the
exact
same
program
in
the
morning
and
in
the
evening
it's
just
two
different
time
zones
so
that
no
matter
where
you
are
in
the
world
you're
going
to
be
able
to
get
this
information
and
that
Global
focus
is
part
of
how
they're
realigning
so
climate.
Reality
is
going
to
expand
the
U.S
chapter
model
to
all
Global
territories.
It
operates.
Within
all
of
those
territories
will
be
open
for
collaboration
with
each
other
and
with
the
United
States.
G
In
effect,
climate
reality
will
become
a
globally
focused
organization
where
all
members
can
share
information
and
support
each
other
easily
right
now
is
set
up.
We're
like
us,
I
guess
most
of
comet
realities,
focus
and
then
separate
from
that.
Are
these
other
levels
of
all
of
the
other
countries?
That's
all
going
to
be
on
the
same
hierarchical
level
like
everybody's
gonna
gonna
have
the
same
ability
to
to
interact
with
each
other.
As
an
organization,
we
will
focus
on
four
key
areas
of
impact:
emissions
reduction,
climate
financing,
anti-green
washing
and
cop
28.
G
There's
going
to
be
some
organization
around
cop
28
at
the
end
of
the
year
and
they're
going
to
do
that.
Pretty
much
every
single
year
you
might
be
asking
what
about
environmental
justice
that
wasn't
one
of
the
four
things
that
I
mentioned,
that
we've
been
harping
on
that
forever.
Ej
awareness,
Concepts
and
practices
will
be
visible
in
the
work
we
are
asked
to
do
in
every
one
of
these
areas.
It's
going
to
be
part
of
the
fabric
of
how
climate
reality
operates.
G
So
as
I
told
you
it
will,
all
of
this
will
be
revealed
globally
in
detail
by
Al
Gore
and
the
panel
of
speakers
on
July
25th.
The
program
will
occur
twice
once
at
9:
00
a.m,
Eastern
and
again
at
8
pm,
Eastern.
The
information
and
speakers
will
be
the
same.
The
zoom
call
will
be
open
to
both
trained
leaders
and
general
chapter
members.
G
I
A
B
F
B
So
I
I
picked
I
worked
on
picking
out
areas
that
were
high
on
the
high
levels
of
environmental
justice,
concern
levels
of
lots
of
traffic,
lots
of
people
being
around
areas
where
you
would
want
the
healthiest
areas
like
the
hospital
District
industrial
areas,
just
a
wide
variety
of
areas
that
I
that
I
picked
out
for
that,
and
so
on.
August,
the
8th
Saturday.
B
We
are
going
to
ask
for
we're
asking
for
volunteers
the
company,
the
the
the
consultant
that
we're
working
with
that's
a
contractor
to
Noah.
It's
called
Kappa
strategies
and
they
are
taking
this
study
area
and
creating
routes
of
about
10
miles,
and
we
will.
We
will
get
volunteers,
I,
don't
know
exactly
how
many
routes
we're
going
to
have
yet
we're
they're,
still
working
on
that
and
three
times
on
that
day
we
will,
we
will
drive
those
routes.
B
They
have
a
little
sensor
package
that
you
attach
to
the
passenger
side
of
your
car
window
and
it
collects
temperature,
humidity,
GPS,
location
and
time,
and
it
collects
data
every
second.
It
will
take
approximately
about
an
hour
to
drive
the
route
the
speed
limit
is.
Is
we
set
a
speed
limit
of
I,
think
35
miles
per
hour,
and
the
first
fruit
will
be
from
six
to
seven
in
the
morning?
B
It
will
tell
us
where
our
our
hot
spots
are
so
to
speak,
at
least
with
regards
to
heat
island.
It
will
give
us
information
that
we
can
then
use
for
City
Planning.
You
know
a
wide
variety
of
things
that
that
we
can
take
this
information
and
and
put
it
to
good
use
I'm
not
going
to
leave
this
slide
up.
B
This
is
part
of
a
training
package
that
my
co-worker
is
working
on,
just
for
example,
if
you,
if
you,
if
you're,
not
familiar
with
what
an
urban
heat
island
is
and
I
suspect
most,
is
anybody
not
know
what
Urban
heat
island
is
put
your
hand
up
and
I'll
I'll
I'll
go
into
that?
But
but
you
guys
know
that
Urban
heat
area,
Urban
heat
Islands,
can
be
up
to
20
degrees
warmer
than
normal
ground
cover,
and
so
it
it
creates
a
lot
of
health
issues.
It.
B
B
Well,
I'm
just
going
to
run
through
this.
This
is
the
the
the
the
campaign
day
the
days
and
the
studies.
Here's
the
problem,
I
have
last
Monday
morning:
I
woke
I
needed
I
needed
a
hundred
volunteers
and
as
a
la
a
week
ago,
last
or
a
week
ago,
yesterday
we
could
go
last
Friday
I
had
18.
I
woke
up
on
Monday
morning
and
I
was
in
a
panic
that
by
this
Thursday,
when
we
do
our
training
I
needed
a
hundred
volunteers.
B
Monday
morning
our
Media
Group
put
out
a
press
release
and
all
of
a
sudden,
we
had
calls
from
Channel
11
channel
five
wbap,
the
Dallas
Observer
and
all
of
these
and
and
I'm
probably
I'm,
leaving
something
out
there.
But
during
the
week
I
did
four
online
media
interviews
with
my
my
director,
Carlos
Evans
and
now,
as
of
yesterday
afternoon,
I
have
over
120
volunteers.
B
B
Well,
I
I,
I,
okay,
I,
didn't
put
the
I'll
put
the
link
in
the
chat,
but
I
would
still
love
it.
If
you
guys
volunteered
and
everything
I
thought
this
would
be
a
great
opportunity
for
the
chapter
membership,
because
I
know
that
you
guys
are,
are
yeah
struggling
right
now
to
get
out
and
do
your
presentations.
I
thought
this
would
be
a
great
opportunity.
It's
a
it's!
M
I
have
an
adjacent
comment.
Kevin.
Could
you
point
me
in
the
direction
of
somebody
if,
if
I
in
where
I
live
I'm,
not
in
this
map
of
that's
going
to
be
studied
but
I
think
there's
a
heat
island
near
where
I
live
and
I
think
it
you
know,
trees
can
be
planted
there.
Could
there
could
be
some
additional
steps
we
could
take
for
that
I
have
emailed
my
city,
council
person,
I've
email,
my
group
at
my
neighborhood
nobody's
getting
back
to
me.
B
You
know
it's
it's,
it's
kind
of
a
a
a
difficult
thing
as
far
as
as
where
to
direct
you
for
resources
on
this
hang
on
one.
Second,
okay,
I
put
the
link
for
the
registration
in
the
chat,
please,
if
you
want
to,
if
you're
interested
sign
up,
if
and
I'll
get
back
to
your
question
just
a
second,
but
but
this
is
the
first
year
we're
doing
this.
I
suspect
there
will
be
Year.
We
will
probably
be
doing
it
again
in
the
future.
B
So
if
you're
interested
in
this
kind
of
thing
get
on
our
database
and
next
time,
when
we
do
this,
we
will
be
contacting
people
with
an
interest
in
it
straight
up
without
going
through
the
media
and
everything
and
and
we'll
get
you
included
in
it.
Each
one
of
the
roots
includes
a
driver
and
a
navigator.
So
if
you
don't
have
a
car
or
you
don't
drive,
you
can
still
take
part
as
as
a
navigator.
The
Navigator
needs
a
a
cell
phone.
They
will
monitor
the
equipment.
B
There's
a
couple:
little
lights
on
it
LEDs
that
that
tell
if
it's
operating
correctly
and
they'll
be
they'll,
be
monitoring
that
plus
they
will
be
given
the
root
on
their
cell
phone
I,
guess
on
Google
Maps
or
something
similar
and
they'll
be
responsible
for
helping
the
driver
navigate
to
make
sure
they
follow
the
exact
route
and
don't
deviate
from
it.
Okay,
now
back
to
the
question
of
where
to
get
tree,
how
to
get
trees
planted
into
your
neighborhood.
Are
you
talking
about
on
private
property?
Are
you
talking.
M
B
B
B
M
A
A
M
I
will
keep
the
super
brief,
so
you
guys
know
what
the
farm
bill
is.
We've
had
speakers
come
we've
been
speaking
about
it.
To
give
you
an
update,
it
has
the
window
for
comments.
Is
officially
closed,
so
the
Coalition
represented
about
30
chapters
has
put
all
of
the
information
that
we've
been
writing
and
typing
and
researching
for
the
last
year
that
it's
made
its
way
into
the
hands
of
our
Congress
people
and
that
window
for
time
is
closed.
M
You
know
if
Ira
was
the
the
big
Goliath
of
last
year's
legislation.
This
one
is
for
this
year.
I
mean
this
is
really
really
important.
The
farm
bill
affects
us
all
in
every
single
way
and
the
more
calls
and
comments
that
we
can
submit
to
Congress
people
to
let
them
know
we
only
need
I,
think
they
said
less
than
20.
M
M
If
you
have
any
questions
about
what
it
is,
why
we
want
regenerative
agriculture,
I'm
happy
to
answer
that
offline
and,
if
you're
interested
in
helping
and
participating,
we
would
love
that
Simon
I'm,
hoping
has
heard
back
from
setting
up
a
meeting
with
our
local
representative
here
in
Dallas,
who
is
on
the
AG
committee,
and
we
need
about
four
to
five
people
on
that
call.
So
if,
if
also
something
that
you're
interested
in
you
can
you
can
participate,
you
can
watch
just
be
there
for
for
moral
confidence
and
support.
M
This
thank
you
chip.
Yes,
there
is
absolutely
and
there's
a
there's
a
lot
of
actions
on
climate
Action,
Now
apps.
So
absolutely
that's
where
you
could
start
today
for
sure
and
then
I'll
probably
be
more
vocal
in
the
coming
weeks,
because
we're
going
to
be
getting
or
I'm
going
to
be
getting
a
specific
Texas
list
of
of
people
to
Target
and
that's
where
I
would
then
communicate
with
the
chapter
like
okay,
we've
got
to
knock
out
these
10
people
and
we
need
to
email
them.
We
need
to
call
them.
K
I
was
going
to
mention
the
climate
action
out,
but
I
would
add
one
other
thing:
there's
a
campaign
tab.
If
you
don't
know
this,
if
you
hit
the
campaigns,
you
can
find
the
farm
bill
action
on
that.
We
are
also
going
to
send
a
request
out
to
all
of
the
5
000
or
so
registrants.
We've
had
to
The
Climate
boot
camp.
Ask
them
to
take
that
action
and
Richard
I
get
a
chance
a
little
plug.
We
do
need
some
extra
help
in
marketing
and
accounting
if
anybody
could
help
with
the
climate
boot
camp.
A
Okay,
we're
going
to
do
our
closing.
Thank
you.
Rebecca
we've
got
your
email
there.
Thank
you
for
that
information.
We
do
need
to
move
on
Monica.
You
may
have
had
to
go
back
to
work.
I
know
you
had
a
question
for
Robert
much
earlier,
but
we
may
have
lost
you
to
the
caffeine
impaired
customers
at
Starbucks,
so
I
guess
we'll
we'll
have
to
do
that
through
email,
we'll
see
if
Monica
comes
back
here
in
the
next
couple
of
minutes,
but
Jeffrey.
Thank
you
for
your
patience.
N
Do
have
a
it's
a
poem
by
Will
Falk
and
it's
called
witch
Hunters
and
I.
Think
it
all
you
hummingbirds
out
there
just
listen,
Earth
mother
of
all
gods
and
goddesses
knows
that,
just
because
magic
exists,
it
does
not
mean
magic
is
infinite,
omnipotent
or
even
independent
from
the
laws
of
physical
existence.
N
She
thought
every
one
of
her
daughters
burning
at
the
stake.
Shrieking
for
her
help
proved
this
beyond
the
shadow
of
a
hope.
As
a
global
Inferno
scorched
those
Shadows
away.
She
thought
the
hurricane
she
flung
at
Urban,
Coastal
cancers,
the
earthquakes
she
conjured
to
shake
her
children,
awake
the
squirrel
and
shark
saboteurs.
N
She
would
save
her
daughters
if
she
wasn't
already
choking
on
the
stench
of
her
own
burning
flesh.
If
her
bloody
wrists,
weren't
already
Shackled
to
attacked
down
tree,
they
had
had
to
murder
to
incinerate
her.
She
would
if
she
could,
and
she
can,
if
only
we
became
brave
enough
to
stand
up
to
the
witch
Hunters.
J
F
A
Thank
you,
Jeffrey,
okay.
Well,
we're
a
little
over
time.
Thank
you
again
to
our
speakers
and
contributors,
first
and
foremost
Robert
from
the
climate
coaching
Alliance,
and
we
had
Kevin
from
the
city
and
Rebecca
about
the
farm
bill
Simon
about
climate
realities,
new
initiatives.
Few
of
us
will
stay
on
for
maybe
a
few
minutes,
five
minutes.
If
there's
anything
else,
you
want
to
talk
about,
but
thank
you
so
much
for
your
contributions.
