Kate Schapira, author of Lessons from the Climate Anxiety Counseling Booth: How to Live with Care and Purpose in an Endangered World, will share methods for living with our emotional responses to climate realities and using them as guides to connection and action. In her home town of Providence, RI, Schapira put up a booth to talk about climate change with concerned and anxious members of her community. Thousands of conversations later, she distills what she’s learned into a book that offers both empathy and practical suggestions for addressing climate change with the help of others. This talk will focus on identifying and activating the potential for increasing each other’s ability to contribute to a livable present and future in our working and community lives. Schapira will be joined by members of Lexington Climate Action Network, who can offer concrete ways to work and care for the living world in the Lexington area and beyond.
