Everyone, everywhere, is waking up to the reality of the climate crisis – and not a moment too soon. Right now we can accelerate tipping points or, in the nick of time, create a more sustainable world. Which path should we choose?

Surely that’s a no-brainer! And yet, how to begin? This afternoon, my 14 year old granddaughter asked me the perennial question:  ‘But what can I do?‘

The simple reality is that none of us can create this new world alone: we can only do it in community, with kindred spirits. So perhaps a prior question to ask is, ‘Who can I face this crisis with?’ And then, ‘Where can I learn what will make a difference?’

Climate Action Now: Risborough (CAN-Risborough) are friends like this. Since January 2019, they have been listening respectfully to one another and creating spaces where others too can share knowledge, insights and experiences.

Like the Zero Carbon Café (Risborough Community Centre, 7.30-9.30pm every second Thursday of the month), where people drop in to discover more ways to create a future for our children and grandchildren – ways that are compassionate both to ourselves and to all life on Earth.
