Climate Conversations 18th January 2023

Meeting info

At our last meeting, someone wondered if there was any point in writing to their MP. This is an excellent question so we’ve taken it as the main topic for this meeting. It’s a good question for one of our conversations because it connects to bigger questions like how we decide where to put our effort, and how much impact can our small actions have. It also connects to climate emotions. I don’t think it’s unusual to feel angry, disillusioned and disheartened when considering engaging with politicians.

As always, we don’t have a ready answer to this question but we do have some ideas from people who work in this area to help us. We aim to create a space where we can think through our personal responses to this question and how we want to develop our own response to the climate crisis. And do this with the company and support of people who share our concerns and worries.
