Teacher friends, I believe this: we career educators have the responsibility to become climate activists. For so many reasons. Check out this thread for links to many articles, drafts of letters, and other direct & indirect ways to start taking climate action.

The education sector could generate a massive signal for climate action. There are 75,000 education sector organizations in the US. But, while many state/national education organizations have spoken up for climate action (8 in the last year alone), a few big ones are deliberately

@ThomasKemmett It’s basic civic emergency preparedness for when an area or municipality is going to suddenly have an enormous temporary influx of population.

@DesignMakeTeach @BambulabGlobal Exciting! My HoS was just talking about this machine. I’ll have to pick your brain sometime

@TeachMrReed Caring feels dangerous because we all feel so powerless to make changes against the enormous problems facing this world. Ecological overshoot is scary. We’re not being honest with ourselves about it and we’re certainly not being honest with young people either. They smell it.

Check out my #3D Fractionalized Cube #prototype made on @tinkercad! #Students create their own #learning tool, making concepts of fractions and volume tangible. The fun 'toy' encourages precise calculation and brings abstract #math concepts to life. #edtech #innovation

It's been over a year since we made the animated film The Great Simplification. In that time, the world has continued to track the systems synthesis presented in the movie: humans -combining energy and materials into technology and services, representing it all by money, in order to generate *feelings* that match ancestral drives. In aggregate, this global 'metabolism' -riding the upslope of the carbon pulse- generates growth, plus waste. It has no braking system. It reacts but has no plan. The film offers a framework for the questions of our time ==>A species level conversation. 32 minutes

It’s up to us to tell the truth about ecological overshoot and spread the word about the ways our societies have to change. I’m excited to dig into these conference sessions!

[Prof Julia Steinberger @JKSteinberger]

As floods & fires rise, oceans boil & ice melts, and "safe" temperatures are breached, something momentous just happened in the heart of the EU. No one has heard about it: journalists were present, but their editors refused to publish 🤯.
