Vol. 1: Climate Change & Culture
Climate change is not just a technical problem, an error in the formula of the modern world that needs a few adjustments. This booklet breaks through common rhetoric about climate solutions and asks that we think more deeply and expansively about climate change solutions.
Vol. 2: Finding Enough
In U.S. society, each person emits twice as much greenhouse gas as the average Western European or Japanese person. As we continually point to technology as a solution to climate change, and we only seem willing to accept paths forward that maintain our lives exactly the way they are now. We’re very attached to the most consumptive way of life ever conceived. For a livable future, we need to learn to ask a different question: how much is enough?
Vol. 3: How Credit Cards Damage Local Economies
Our financial systems play a role in climate change. An overlooked part of the modern financial system is the transaction fee that businesses pay for each transaction. How many billions of dollars are siphoned out of local economies via these fees each year? Read the booklet to find out, and to learn about divesting from credit cards.
Vol. 4: Four Tools For Thinking About Climate Change
In the face of a scary problem like climate change, people seem to want a scapegoat, somewhere to direct negative emotions like anger and despair. The less satisfying truth is that climate change is too complex to blame on any single entity. To find effective solutions, we need to understand more deeply how a culture based on industry causes climate change. This booklet offers four tools to encourage nuanced thinking and to help generate dialogue on climate change that is more constructive and less divisive.
Vol. 5: How Does Divestment Work?
Financial systems help drive climate change. For the average person, the machinations of global financial markets can be hard to understand. This booklet simplifies divestment from fossil fuels into a quick read, giving you an overview of how choice of banks, stocks, mutual funds, and reinvestment options can all help address climate change.
