In this episode, we are saved by a superhero, Jim Poyser.
We are reminded that there’s no time to waste so we cut to the chase. We are inspired to make art to confront the greatest existential threat that humanity has faced in recorded history by bringing honesty, humor, and compassion to all our interactions.
We embrace that conflict is at the heart of creativity and that we need to get our hands dirty to connect, make discoveries, and make an impact. There’s no way to have an authentic conversation about the climate crisis without getting outside our comfort zone.
We are inspired when we are in the thick of it whether it’s a challenging rehearsal, a personal life struggle, or an overwhelming sense of despair in the face of the climate crisis, we remember that the only way out is through. We take a deep breath, hop off the Hope-and-Despair Wheel, and do the work, connect with our communities, and adapt to our circumstances in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
We vow to Take Action by contacting our local, state, and federal Representatives to pass climate legislation and make sure that they hear our voices directly.
We are encouraged to Leave No Trace. When we make a mess, we clean it up. We take responsibility for the impact that we make.
We laugh, we cry, we sing, we do skits, and we have dance parties!
We are reminded that Earth is the only planet in our galaxy that can support life. Scientists estimate that Earth is home to about 300,000 plant species, over 600,000 species of fungi, and about ten million animal species. We are made aware that we’re the life of the party!
