 I started a new Instagram account: @ClimateVenn. 🎯 For sharing examples of the *many* ways people can find their own sweet spot for climate action. 

Would love to see (and share!) your #ClimateVenns! Post and tag me and @ClimateVenn — so we can inspire each other with our climate actions ✨

And swipe to see my first sketch of this, from way back when. 🖍

If you prefer the video version of this loooong caption below, link in bio to the @TED talk. 🤓 And if you want it on a website, I made that too: ClimateVenn.info

When it comes to climate action, all too often everyone is asked to do the same things: vote, protest, donate, spread the word, and lower your carbon footprint. And, yes, it’s great to do those things. I do those things! But all too rarely are we asked to contribute our *specific* talents, our superpowers. ✨

So how can we find our unique roles? Perhaps a Climate Action Venn Diagram can help — ask yourself these questions:

1️⃣ What are you good at? What are your areas of expertise? What can you bring to the table? Think about your skills, resources, and networks.

2️⃣ What is the work that needs doing? Are there particular climate and justice solutions that you’re keen on? Think about system-level changes and things that can replicate or scale. Things like composting initiatives, insulating buildings, protecting wetlands, getting climate candidates elected, and electrifying everything. There are heaps of options. [Swipe for a partial list via @projectdrawdown.]

3️⃣ What brings you joy and satisfaction? What gets you out of bed in the morning? There are sooooo many things that need to be done – please do not pick something that makes you miserable! Choose things that enliven and energize you.

The goal is to be in the heart 💚 of your Venn diagram, where these three circles overlap, for as many minutes of your life as you can. If you’re familiar with the Japanese concept of Ikigai for finding your purpose, you can consider this a simplified, climate-focused version of that.
