Do you find people changing the subject when you speak up about climate change? Have you ever torpedoed the mood of a get-together just by mentioning an environmental problem? Well, you’re in good company. Could it be that we—well-intentioned environmentalists—should be doing something different?
Years ago, Dr. Elizabeth Sawin, founder of the Multisolving Institue, realized that when she talked with people about our sustainability crises, she was effectively “bumming people out.” As a systems thinker (trained by the esteemed Donella Meadows) she knew she had to try something different to make a better case for environmental and social action.
Join us for a conversation with Dr. Sawin on Thursday, September 26, 2024 at 11:00am Pacific. In this live, online, 75-minute event, Dr. Sawin will share how she turned her focus to visioning and “multisolving” to communicate more effectively and develop more inspiring projects. Beth will be joined by Rob Dietz, Program Director at Post Carbon Institute.
