Description
What do you want your community to look like? What would you like our future to be? We are all part of the problem and the solution. The future isn’t written and the climate crisis will unfold based on our collective and individual actions. It can be a terrible global catastrophe or a more managed set of problems that we can adapt to. What if we chose to restore our communities and the natural world instead of falling into despair and inaction? Urban planner and afrofuturist Chandra Christmas Rouse shares in this episode how her faith in design and humanity can create a world we want and deserve.
