I need to make sure I'm feeding the stuff that's in my life that I love, that I'm worried climate change is gonna change. So if I make sure that those things are growing, those things are thriving, That is one way to make the problem smaller as well, right? If the things that I love, I'm nurturing and I'm making those things bigger and bigger, like a garden metaphor, right?

I'm planting, I'm putting fertilizer, I'm putting the sunlight on the stuff that I love. That is another way to make them resilient to the threats that are going to come around the corner, if not already here. And so there's this sort of metaphor of gardening that I love there, but there's also the actual gardening, right? I want to have a relationship with the more than human world.

I want to care about it. I want to tend to it. I want to recognize and see and appreciate my relationships with other stuff that's outside of me and my phone. And so there's a sense of this is a way of trying to get into a little bit more of right relationship in my daily life, in the way I walk around in the world. I say in my classes, we have to save the environment.

Well, what's one first step I can take? I can look to the environment that's right in my backyard and I can do something to nurture it.

Yeah, so there's a couple of things at work here. First of all, we are just one person. And also, we are part of many collectives and many communities. That's always true, both at the same time. And so this notion that all of our actions of our life, no matter how hard we work, are going to amount to nothing, really does change the goalposts to something that's impossible anyway.

And so what I'm suggesting there is that the small actions that we can do are really all we can do anyways. even if you had all the power on the planet, you could make very little difference in the climate crisis.

And so we really have to figure out what is our motivation for doing these kinds of actions that isn't based on knowing that our actions are gonna make the difference we wanna see in the world. We have to find some non-instrumentalist
