Please join Donna Stevens of the Upper Gila Watershed Alliance in a discussion about the twin crises of climate change and biodiversity loss. In the first half of the show, climate activist Mike Fugagli summarizes some of the most recent climate news. Spoiler alert: it’s alarming. But Mike doesn’t give us only bad news; he also shares the latest hopeful, and even revolutionary, social trends. In the second half of the show, UGWA’s Education and Outreach Director, Carol Ann Fugagli, reviews a process called Active Hope, a very helpful method for dealing with climate grief and the accompanying emotions of anger, depression, fear, and anxiety.
