Summary: | In This Together looks at the climate crisis and explores how we can harness our social networks to make a real impact fighting it. In contrast to notions of the lone environmental crusader, Marianne Krasny shows us the power of "network climate action"—the idea that our own ordinary actions can influence and inspire those close to us. Through this spread of climate-conscious behavior, our individual actions become collective ones that eventually effect widespread change.Weaving examples of everyday climate-forward initiatives with insights on behavioral and structural change, Krasny demonstrates how we can scale up the impact of our efforts through leveraging our community connections. Whether by inviting family to a plant-rich meal, friends to become activists with a climate non-profit, or colleagues to donate to a women's health organization, we forge the social norms and shared identity that are the building blocks of policy change and better practices. With on the ground dos and don'ts easily pursued in our daily lives, In This Together shows us a practical and hopeful way forward into our shared future. |
