Common Themes - Connecting With Nature

5
The crises we are faced with in today’s world – climate change, ecological collapse, extinction, pollution, and mental health – can be traced to the disconnection between humans and natural world. Nature can be a source of solace, balance and healing for many. People here share how they first became aware of environmental issues, and their special connection to the land and its non-human inhabitants that they share it with.



Building Hope

One of Transition’s key mottos is ‘Hope… with its sleeves rolled up.’ How has hope played a part in people’s decision to volunteer with Transition Town, and how, in turn, has that work affected how they feel about the future? 




Facing the future

Looking back on the past, recalling one’s own childhood and memories, can invite nostalgia and longing, especially when the news today feels more and more frightening and gloomy. How do people view the future – their own, or their children’s, or of this place in general? What actions are they taking in the present to change the course of the future that is yet to come?  




Taking action for the climate

The issue of climate change is so huge, so world-encompassing, it is easy to feel that any action taken by an individual is so tiny as to be entirely futile. Yet many, many people have joined together to change the narrative around climate change, emissions targets, and climate justice. How this plays out in people’s everyday lives, and the choices they make, is a fascinating question.
