We have the knowledge that we need to change our worldview, and yet we don't change. What's the missing piece?
“It may seem simplistic to say, ‘Well, what we need is a different story.’ But what is it that has changed and guided us through history? It's stories. I can say, ‘I am going to live as if the world is a gift for which I need to be grateful, for which I need to reciprocate, for whom I am accountable.’
And if I change my mind, I can align my behaviors with that story.” – Robin Wall Kimmerer
As we AskNature for guidance through today's climate uncertainty, Robin Wall Kimmerer joins us to explore cultural biomimicry and the braiding of western science with traditional ecological knowledge.
