The most important thing you can do is tell the government you want them to act now against climate change. Do you know how? It's really easy! If you live in the US, you can use this website: https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials - you can get friends together and write letters and make phone calls, it's a great way to build community and to feel less alone. If you live in another country, I don't know specifically how to help you, but if you could find my video, I have faith in you that you can figure it out.

Everyone who can needs to VOTE for candidates who are going to really do something about climate change.

I was afraid to make this video because I don’t want to trivialize the seismic systematic shifts in legislation and government action we need in order to tackle climate change. But I don’t believe we can ever make those shifts without altering our mass culture. And the way to change culture is to shift people’s everyday focus. So I made this video anyway because I'm trying to get people who care about the environment to DO SOMETHING about it.

There's so many other things you can do, like talk about climate change and what we can do about it. You can do things to lower your carbon footprint, like avoiding flying & eating "ruminant" animals like cows, switching your electricity to renewable sources, and just using and buying less. It doesn't seem like much, but we are all just one of many. We like to think we are different, but add up all our activities, and together that's a lot of carbon.

To me, it all seems so obvious that everyone should care deeply about how much carbon we are consuming. But I keep looking around and seeing people still consuming, consuming, consuming carbon. I obviously do it! There's sometimes no other reasonable options! But I think we really need a huge change in our culture and values, especially in wealthy countries. We need people to realize excess consumption doesn't make us happy. Feeling entitled to using fossil fuels for things that are ephemeral and driven by status symbols damages the lives of others, especially the children and the poor. I don't know how to make a huge shift in society, but I felt like making a video to add to the fabric of the conversation is one tiny way to get people's attention off buying things or whatever people are doing on YouTube and onto acting on helping the environment. I want to stop staying up at night worrying about no one caring.

Thank you Mollie Lauffler, Brendan Colthurst and Dan Menke for your help making this video.

Lyrics:
I see what I see, I know what I know,

I walk where I want to, but I don’t know where I go.

Follow me down as I move through the crowds

swarming the beach where your home used to be.

Golden and velvet but dry to the touch,

the hills of California are shaking their dust.

I only drive when it rains,

wear a sweater indoors,

dry my clothes in the sun, though it’s hardly enough.



You take it in stride as I go partly blind:

I see with the eye in my mind.

I ought to confess that I’m longing to care less:

I hate watching clocks in the night,

but I cease to exist when I’m feeling complicit.

I want you to be happy, but you’re wrong.

I’ll dream what I dream, I’ll know what I know.

If you don’t what to help us, you’ll go where you go.
