Compassion, Climate Lesson Plans & Critical Thinking with the Carbon Almanac Educators Team
Listen now
Description
Featuring Carbon Almanac Contributors Alexis Costello, Ryan Flahive & Annie Parnell. From British Columbia, Canada (via Costa Rica), and from Colorado in The United States, these collaborators have backgrounds in education, instructional design, publishing and as parents. Having contributed to many areas of the Carbon Almanac, the three came together to develop lesson plans and activities that educators can use to help all kinds of learners understand climate change. We wanted to bring forward an attitude of compassion rather than anxiety about a topic that can generate a lot of emotions and reactions. In this episode, we talk about the joys and challenges of collaborating with a fast-moving global team of volunteer writers, thinkers, researchers and designers; our hope and confidence in young people; what climate action each of us will take forward from this collaboration into our own lives – and what it’s like to pivot when Seth Godin tells you to start from square one. (Spoiler: It all works out even better in the end.) For more information on the project, and to pre-order your copy visit thecarbonalmanac.org
