We are constantly bombarded with multimedia coverage about humanity's role in driving climate change. At the same time, we’re told it’s the defining challenge of our generation, that we’re not doing enough, and that our individual actions barely scratch the surface of this global crisis. This narrative has fueled a rise in climate doomism, with some individuals feeling so overwhelmed that they see no way forward.

In the face of this darkness and despair, we need moments of light and hope. That’s why I’ve created this challenge—for those of us who could use a spark of encouragement as we continue the vital work of protecting our shared home.

This challenged in structured into 3 main prompts:
1. a podcast episode to set the stage
2. (optional) recommended books to read related to climate and environmental justice
3. uplifting books related to climate and environmental justice

I will update these prompts with uplifting content as I uncover more inspiration to help us persevere in this uphill battle. I hope you’ll join me on this journey! 🌍✨
