	Description:		This conversation is difficult to process but important to hear. It asks: "How does Socioecological justice prevail in the face of an irreversible collapse"? Its time to accept that infinite growth on a finite planet will be short lived and that those who have agency & privilege have much to do - in big or small ways It’s hard to really accept collapse when we have a comfortable lifestyle but let's consider preparing while we still have abundance in our system. Show notes A new form of activism - possibilities to make the world a better place Why climate activism is the most important issue of focus The shift in activism following covid Introducing disruption to activism Socioecological justice Justice can only be relative Creating a collapse community to help relieve anxieties of reality & locate ourselves Putting differences aside to open the door to building localised communities Acknowledging how difficult it can be to create community in the individualised society of the affluent west. As we ratchet back, our community will be where we physically are. Having faith that we can rely on each other Consciously connecting is inevitably in train and we will be pushed together Relearning to connect, compromise and communicate Its unhelpful to create utopian or romanticised ideals Insurgent planning - actively creating a plan of readiness to this inevitable collapse Being led by the greater group with place based solutions Why there is no prescription to future solutions - we need to figure that out for ourselves based on our understanding of the soil, water, culture we are working within Breaking down individualisation & risks: outrageous debts & our reliance on fossil fuels #talkcollapse - linking people to plant the seeds of a different and just future Planting seeds physically and metaphorically for a socioecological collapse Talking collapse is not about converting those who don't want to hear it The emotional reality of procesing climate grief - face it, expereince it and let is sit behind you with echoes Depression goes with the territory but its not a reason to avoid reality Ecological awareness as the foundation to discovering more Understanding the fragility of the world while also being a ‘doer’ What a cyclical grief process looks like and feels like Cognitive dissonance of having endless choice and capacity to purchase while simultaneously being aware that collapse is inevitable The myth of progress being perpetuated by every message around us The need to decomplexify Building solidarity via social media Being sure to remind yourself of how wondrous the world actually is Supporting mental wellbeing with various tools It’s so important in this point in history to embrace life in whatever form References Limits to growth - Club of Rome Just Collapse Podcast partners ROCK!
