If this is true, is it possible we’re being pointed in the wrong direction regarding both primary causes and solutions? And what if it’s not true, or not in the way we’re being led to believe? This distinction could make a world of difference. What follows is a nuanced view. This is not a black-or-white issue but one that is deeply complex and that requires more thought and action than news headlines and public figures are leading us to believe. This episode explores: What we really need to consider when it comes to whether our climate is in fact changing Some important questions to ask regarding how much impact day-to-day human activity is having The habits and culture that should be addressed as it relates to our care for the environment The potential impact of clearing forests, modifying weather, and tech-based solutions What true ecological care means How we can learn from those who walked these lands before us

We fill it with perpetual busyness and when we don’t have something to do, we get twitchy. We scroll, we click, we formulate comments, we scroll and click some more until it’s time for us to do something else.

In this episode of On My Mind, I share how to start the creative process - and what I'm doing to tap into my creativity these days.
