Our human response to a worsening climate in many cases is got to be to rebuild kinder, regenerative, more socially integrated, more just communities.
What happens when an environmental lawyer with over 25 years of experience decides to take her activism to the streets? In this episode of Force of Nature, Clover Hogan sits down with Farhana Yamin, who made headlines by gluing herself to the pavement outside the Shell building in London. Yamin shares her journey from high-level climate negotiations to joining Extinction Rebellion, emphasizing the necessity of non-violent direct action to disrupt the status quo.
The conversation dives into the murky waters of corporate greenwashing and the deceptive tactics used by big oil companies to mislead the public. Yamin passionately argues that real change starts at the grassroots level, spotlighting initiatives like Think & Do that empower communities to take charge. She highlights the power of Gen Z in shaking up traditional capitalist structures and stresses that power does not relinquish itself willingly.
One of the most compelling parts of the episode is Yamin's perspective on the myriad solutions available to combat climate collapse. She believes that while the problems are vast, so too are the opportunities for change. Yamin calls for a shift in how we view our food, fashion, and transport systems, advocating for a 'green new deal' that places people and communities at its heart. Yamin's message is clear: creativity and imagination are vital in envisioning a sustainable future.
She challenges listeners to rethink their everyday choices and consider their global impact. This episode is a must-listen for anyone feeling overwhelmed by climate change but eager to make a difference. Tune in to hear how you can become part of a movement that prioritizes kindness, justice, and regeneration.
