Trebbe Johnson, author and founder of Radical Joy for Hard Times, claims that we need to broaden our definition of environmental activism in 6 ways. The new activism must be:
(1) Handy (2) Rooted in the present, even as we work for the future (3) Able to accept that people feel grief when the places they love are destroyed (4) Able to transform that grief (5) Local and small as well as global and large (6) Fun
One way to begin doing this is to pay attention to the places among us that have been damaged.
