Converse Conserve
by Nicolle K. and her contributors.
Converse Conserve is TRANSITIONING in to a site that discusses how we think about adaptation to climate change versus mitigation and abatement to prevent climate change. As a rapidly expanding human population, and with no Planet B available, we will urgently have to BOTH reduce our footprint as well as adapt to climate change. These goals cannot be mutually exclusive. So the aim is to draw on what is happening around the world, and to draw on comparisons. It's the writer of this website's position that not enough is being done around the world to adapt to run-away climate change.
For many years, Converse Conserve has been a site about how we talk about conservation, pollution abatement and climate change. We look at how environmentalists have changed up their style of green messaging, and the mood underpinning their campaigns. Whether it be in the press, on social media, or at the coal face: in Schools, the work-place, or just how we talk about environmental messages with our friends and family, more and more we are learning to build fun and creativity in to the process to stir up behaviour change. Usage of (right brain) sub-conscious techniques to appeal to emotions of those resisting behaviour change includes:
Promoting new actions without rationalising, moralising, preaching.
Doing without thinking which can take shape in activities like games promoting environmentalism, ditto story-telling, upcycling materials, planting up sustainable gardens, so feeling effective without having to harp on the 'do's and don'ts'.
ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION PROJECTS AND ACTIVITIES are a key focus on this site.
Environmental education games and projects raise awareness at school, on camps, workplace and community actions (Fundraisers) and at home. At Converse Conserve.com, we feel the more wholistic and MULTI DIMENSIONAL the learning is, the more likely the information will be imprinted in the child's sub-conscious and conscious mind.
The approaches to learning is geared moreso to ENVIRONMENTAL DOING and application, and less ANALYSIS.
