Video Description
What passes for “environmental activism” nowadays is repulsive to most ordinary people. The activists themselves come across as sanctimonious and somewhat condescending. And what they might refer to as pleas to wake the public up to our perilous ecological situation are interpreted by normal people as admonishments for how we currently live.
Although, in principle, I agree with much of what these activists say, I don’t agree with the methods they employ to try and distribute what they know more widely and convince people to begin behaving differently.
I see the issues with burning fossil fuels as a main source of energy. Beyond the overly simplistic “carbon dioxide in the atmosphere” narrative.
I also see why biodiversity loss is an existential threat to humanity.
I want more people to see these things. And I don’t think the likes of Just Stop Oil and Extinction Rebellion are helping towards that end.
That’s why I’ve started my own Locals community. I hope for this community to act like an attractor for nature-lovers. I have a vision for it to become a place where vibrant, energising conversations occur, and a place from which action can spill over into the real world.
