The EcoNews Report

Climate Action Theatre

On this week’s EcoNews Report, we are doing something a little different: climate action theatre. Environmentalists drone about the climate crisis a lot, laden with statistics, science, and doom-and-gloom stories, hoping that with just a little more information, people will straighten up and take this issue seriously. What is too often missing is the engagement of our imaginations, essential both to take in the magnitude of the changes happening to our planet and to envision futures where we live within its means. On this week’s show, Humboldt friends and neighbors perform mini-plays written as part of Climate Change Action Theatre, an international event created to stimulate our climate imaginations. Many thanks to climate advocate Wendy Ring for bringing these plays to life!
