It's Not Too Late. A Conversation About Climate Change with Heather White
Q: What role do young people play in shaping the movement, and what should adults listen for from the next generation?
Listen to how young people perceive the future and the barriers they face; involve them in conversations, value their perspectives, and translate that input into intergenerational strategies and policies that protect their future.
It's Not Too Late. A Conversation About Climate Change with Heather White
Q: How can someone balance personal wellbeing with urgent climate action without burning out?
Adopt a daily practice like One Green Thing, which aligns actions with personal gifts; engage in community activities, spend time in nature to reduce stress, and frame actions as part of a longer-term vision rather than isolated efforts.
It's Not Too Late. A Conversation About Climate Change with Heather White
Q: Given the dire framing often seen in media, what is a concrete first step a listener can take this week to influence climate policy or action?
Call or email your representative with a specific issue (e.g., protect wild lands, oppose harmful policy changes), and then follow up to hold them accountable; even if alignment seems unlikely, the act of engagement matters and builds democratic pressure.
Could Listening Have Prevented the Fire? With Orly Israel
Q: What have you learned about the role of listening in handling trauma or displacement, such as your experience after the fires?
He explains that listening helped people feel seen during crises, and that being heard can become a foundation for rebuilding stability and community, even when physical belongings are lost.
Could Listening Have Prevented the Fire? With Orly Israel
Q: How did The Listening Table begin, and what sparked your interest in listening as a practice?
Orly describes his path from prison communication workshops to creating The Listening Table, emphasizing personal relationship issues, the value of neutral observers in conversations, and the realization that people lack meaningful listening in everyday life.
