I’ve
really started to get into finding alternate media sources who are making the
case for climate change action in creative ways. A few of my favorites:
Dear
Future Generations: Sorry by Prince Ea
This
video was shown during a presentation I went to by Scotland’s Youth 2050 Climate
Group. They were an impressive group of 20-30 year olds trying to fill the void
post college by organizing a volunteer group to work on the issue of Climate
Change. I thought the video was an impressive visual and vocal perspective on
what kind of future we are leaving to the next generations. The video was part
of an ending speech by the vice-chair of the group, Elizabeth Dirth, who
passionately followed up the video by saying she is no longer going to accept
apologizes from world leaders, only actions.
Last
Week Tonight with John Oliver: Climate Change Debate
Sick of
the climate change ‘debate’ being framed as a 1:1 issue, John Oliver staged
another debate with 3 scientists arguing against and 97 scientists arguing for
climate change. Brilliant.
‘Layers’
poem by spoken word artist Terisa Siagatonu
I was
lucky enough to see Terisa perform this live during the UNICEF Youth Ambassador’s
presentation I went to. When you only have so many words in poetry, the ones
you use must count and every word in this one counts!
